has anyone fitted the gaz gold suspension .

when fitting the rear coilovers do the torsion bars need to be re-indexed or removed ?

or is it fine to leave them at the standard setting ?

cheers roy

Not sure if you get rear coilovers or just assistor springs. I would have though you would need to alter the torsion bars if you are altering the ride height.

Roy, I think Stuart (Scam75) fitted new suspension? Possibly? PM and ask if he is coming to the meeting on Wednesday night, you could have a look.

I have Gaz Gold coilovers (944 spec on 924 turbo) with rear helper springs on mine with original torsion bars. You only need to re index if you want to lower the ride height. This was done and set up by EMC. They also drilled a hole in the sills to be easily re indexed which is covered by the turbo sill covers, should I wish to re adjust height.

You may find the Gaz lift the rear slightly over standard and may need adjusting.

what is involved in re-indexing the torsion bars ?

Here's a link to everything to do with suspension including re indexing. Just remember this was written from a US perspective.

I took the easy route and paid someone with the knowledge. If new to it with no previous experience expect to take two or three attempts to get it right. And spend a lot of hours unbolting and re bolting the the rear end.

Forgive the thread hijack , but does anyone with Gaz Golds know whether the front struts fit the standard top mounts? I assume that they do, but not having stripped the front struts on an S2 yet, I'd appreciate some confirmation before I get halfway through fitting them and find out I need replacements .

If nobody's sure, I'll contact Gaz direct, but always prefer to have owner feedback if at all possible...

Not aware of any road suspension that needs new strut tops. Post 85 1/2 they are very expensive, around £240 each the last time I checked.

Excellent, thanks Jim .

I can confirm my Gaz fit stock top mounts.

Great, that's me out of excuses to get on and fit them now then !
