Got fed up with the soft front end on my S80, As a Gaz dealer I had some front dampers made up. As I did not know what spring rate and length I would want I altered things around so I could use 240 springs. Also fitted some uprated adjustable rod end ARB links while I was there Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Next job will be changing the rear springs and dampers to sort the rear end out It does drive a lot better and is a lot smoother on hard cornering

Why is there a jubilee clamp on the bottom of the lower spring? Looks like bodge job to me!

Gaz made bespoke suspension for my old Mk2 Astra GTE 16V racing car. Good bits of kit and reasonably priced too.

Jubilee clip is a common fitment to keep shorter springs seated when the car is jacked up.
