redhouse53 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 now I have a few miles on my GT6, I'm starting to think about suspension upgrades. The car won't be used for racing, so which colour polybushes should I go for? Also are Gaz shocks the way forward? I have been told they are the only option for rotoflex cars, is this correct?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveKent Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 i have superflex bushes ans spax adjustable shocks on my spit. they are superb, the car handles well and the ride is good. given the choice though, i think i would go for konls next time; i used koni on my mini and the shocks worked for many years needing zero attention once they were set up.

rotoflex Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The Koni's that have been on my rotoflex GT6 Mk3 have been there since the 1980s, still work well, & have outlasted a numbr of springs. They look awful now with scrapes & peeling paint, but I can't bring myself to paint them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have just changed to red poly bush and Gaz shocks on the front. The difference is significant compared with the blue polys and Avo shocks i removed. I would fit red poly every time and I'm very happy with the Gaz shocks. I do still have avo's on the back (swingspring car) People rave about Koni's but the fronts don't have adjustable spring platforms and you need to remove them from the car to adjust the dampening. Complete ball ache if you ask me so I wouldn't ever consider using them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Blighter Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Polybush all round and Gaz shocks on the back has transformed the handling on my Spitfire, will do the front springs and Gaz shocks on front at some point but fine as it is for now.

jaybee Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I fitted adjustable Gaz shocks to a scimitar GTE SE6 i owned many moons ago. I had them set to full soft to cope with the roads over here in Ireland (you think the roads are bad in the UK eh?) They were just the ticket, and the car drove and handled really well.
