I saw an ad for their new kit for Z3. We can now have an actual coilovers at the rear (needs their special top mount with it too).
Will it give better ride for the rear as will allow more travel of the swing arms?
They also offer a custom set up service for valving and rates.

Price seems reasonable at under 700 but the top mounts are another 140 and needed for the conversion.
About the BMW Z3 Gaz GHA Coilover Kit
Features of this Gaz Coilover Kit
This kit offers height adjustment at the front and rear. We can supply this kit as separate spring and damper at the rear as in the OE set up or as a full coilover (fits straight in with no fabrication required), please let us know which set up you require upon ordering. When using either kit our rear top mounts are highly recommended as the OE top mounts are weak (see below “What Else Do You Need?” section below).
Dampers are 42-way adjustable soft to hard, which allows you to find the ideal setup for your car and dial out excessive understeer and oversteer for faster corning.
The springs and dampers are matched perfectly so your car will not feel harsh or crashy and you will have much greater control through bends and over bumps resulting in better grip and handling.
Do you need a free custom set up?
This kit is designed primarily for fast road and track day use with default spring rates set for this purpose. We offer a free service where we can customise the damper lengths, spring rates and damper valving depending upon the vehicle use, basic specification and the tyres used. This approach means you get the exact kit you need for your use. You will be happier and your car will be faster! Please contact us if you need this service.
This kit is not designed to accept the higher loadings of prolonged use with semi or full slick tyres or the very high spring rates these tyres require to generate the heat required to fully exploit their extra grip available. For serious track day or race car suspension, please see our Gaz Gold listings at the link below (where you will also find TOP MOUNTS and SUSPENSION BUSHES where available).
What Else Do You Need?
This kit is designed to bolt up to your existing suspension mounts so nothing more to buy. However, if you are planning on running a very low ride height, you may want to consider Gaz Helper Springs which are designed to maintain the location of the main coil spring when the car is jacked up for MoT inspection or where there is a legal requirement (in various EU countries) for main spring location.
