I'm looking at a set of GAZ coilovers for a dedicated endurance track car but want to check if I should be looking at other options. Most forum posts are more than 5yrs old so there may be some newer options to consider.

It's for a 306 endurance track car, we have upto 5 drivers of mixed skill levels and I need to have the car consistent and predicable to cover the skill range.

It's currently on stock springs with the Hybrid rear ARB, fresh sport shocks and adjustable front strut tops. It's currently running a 2.0L 8v but will get a 8v turbo engine early next year so I want the chassis side sorted first. It's predicable particularly on a wet track but it's too soft and I don't want to change front or rear only to start and then loose the predictability we currently have in it. Whilst I want to gain some pace, predictability, good tyre wear and a forgiving setup are still high priorities due to the length of the races (last race out we covered 1450km with dry, wet and then a drying track with 6hrs under lights too).

Any other setups worth considering?

Hi Alex
I see your in Sydney
The first advice id give is look at Denis / Russain guys post on suspension upgrades and he list what improvements he gets at each upgrade….
PS Denis works for a very well known company - so he knows his stuff …

Also I personally believe your going to have to go to 3way type separate canister suspension/ dampers if your doing long endurance racing and my reasoning for this is the oil getting to hot and thin and reducing the dampers capabilities…just my view

Good luck with finding something but its not going to
be cheap if you really want something much better for that amount of endurance racing with crazy long times and multiple drivers
