Anyone know a US supplier of replacement spring for the Gaz shocks. The 2" internal size limits the availability that I can find in the US. The Gaz web site is no use, I cannot drill down to individual springs, and I cannot search on the shock part number, but I have sent them an email. A US supplier would be quicker.

The fronts for example are 2" ID and 8" overall length.

I have emailed Jack, he does not have a stock of springs.

Which diameter Gaz units do you have, it should be a 1.9" or 2.25" ID for either the GP or Gold coil overs depending on body size? I have 1.75" Dia Gaz Golds which take a 1.9" ID spring and use Eibach 1.88" ID and QA-1 1-7/8" ID springs with no issues. Eibach lists them under race springs. QA-1 Link https://www.qa1.net/automotive/suspension/springs/1-875-id-coil-springs You can get them through Summit and probably others.

I've got a set of 0800.188.0300 Eibachs that could use a new home if that would work for you.

hfmaxi, your right, with closer measurement, measuring the actual spring perch 1.88 is the ticket. They had lengths I could work with 8" from 10" rear.

Thanks again.
