Nice looking cars you have! :)

I have done a search for them GAZ coilovers, but I can't find them for sale.
Where did you get yours from?

Thanks. Gaz make the coilovers to order. They require your front struts as they use your existing stub axles on the new units. Took about a month from first email to delivery.
Couldnt fault the service from start to finish, would recommend. Hope this helps.

I where going to, but Re-speed is not what it used to be since Sam took over.
Read this: http://www.rx7club.com/bad-fugly-busine ... s-1011269/
And with shipping and import taxes from USA, the price will be the same as having my struts rebuilt in GB.
I have also thougt about asking AVO forhow much it would cost. I realy like their 40mm pistons for stability...
I had a lot to do with them many years ago, when we built Ginetta G30 in Sweden.

My seven is equipped with Re-speed rack and pinion, and I just love driving the car after the change.
