Gaz Pro Shock strut tops

[phaeton]

Okay I know the informaiton must be on here somewhere but I'll be buggered if I can find it, just purchased a set of Gaz pro coilovers & some 200Lbs springs for the rear. Somewhere in the back of my mind there is something about using them with MK1 strut tops, but I could be dreaming that, I do have 40mm (I think) spacers on there already.

It's on a Mevster but I think back in 2005 the main geometry is the same

Not sure exactly what you are looking for but one Replicar build has spacers above top hats to raise rear of car which required the top hat bolts to be extended. Is this what you meant?

Currently my shocks look like




So they a top mount, I 'think' what I need are www.autodoc.co.uk/kyb/1738038? but just wanted somebody to confirm, I already have spacers to compensate for the lowering of coilovers.

You need all the arrowed parts from the donor shocks

Bought the top mount from MX5Spares & then bought the adapters which hold the spring in the centre direct from Gaz

I didn't have to buy anything additional the Gaz Gold pros came with anything that wasn't to come from the donor. By the way I've had to take the GGP's off and install standard shocks with the original springs to get the correct rear bodywork (lights) height for IVA.

I bought the shocks 2nd hand, bought new springs, in the end it cost me £250 for a pair of rears, so a bit of a saving over new.
