Although upgrading the dampers is out of my budget right now, I think i'd like to lower my car slightly. its running on 17" cup wheels with 45 profile rubber. Has anybody else lowered and/or upgraded the dampers on their car and did they have any problems with it. I'm taking my car to Paul Anderson next week so i'm attempting to get as much done in one go as possible.

thanks,
RB

the dampers have 42 position soft to brick hard settings . so pretty sure there will be a setting for every body,the springs are race spec , but for road use a softer spring can be had ,the fine tune with damper ,the only other set gaz have made were for vicky- butler- henderson,s dad,, was on the phone to paul anderson he has leada, from all accounts not that impressed with them ,, will be in discussions with gaz in next few weeks about some mods that can be done to them ,, i already have gaz front race dampers on my 1969 lotus elan s4, race car, and they are the best , and excellent value for your money, the only other dampers that just beats them in performance, is the ohlins dampers fitted on my 1000bhp skyline r33 gtr, but they are £1500 each , , but luckly for me they were fitted in japan just before i bought it and shipped it to scotland , if i was building the skyline now i would be fitting gaz
