Question

[hartmj]

ok,
So im getting 15'' alloys soon, and want to lower the car to suit, if i buy these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160082273631&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006 ,will i be able to change the springs if i want it even lower? ie. if i get the 35mm shocks and springs, can i get 40 or 45 mm springs put on, with the same shocks? Also, are Gmax any good? and is this a good price???
cheers all!

Gmax arn't too good at all mate.

I'd go for eibach or spax springs mate.

[hartmj]

top bloke cheers dude!

[hartmj]

how about a pair of these? wiv whatever springs :http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?id=119330
eibach seems a bit out of my price range..... ::)

[Dan]

There expensive for a reason dude, there amazing.

Don't take shortcuts when it comes to suspension and stuff thats important. ;)

I got mine from here http://www.needforspeed.co.uk/

I agree dont go cheap with somthing as importaint as suspension

so spending about �£200 would be cheap? :-\

[Tuscan]

on a full kit yes.

Iv got p.i shocks and g-max springs because i live on the edge 8)

[Dan]

Eibach springs all the way. :)

[James.G]

iv herd of some of the cheeper spring makes snapping etc in the past.

like Dan swears by, eibach, which i have on mine and have been brilliant. or H&R are really good aswell.

why not do the springs/torsion bar now. then upgrade the shocks in a few months or so...

that way you get want you want and dont cut corners. ;)

[hartmj]

yea good idea mate, how low can i go without changing the shocks, 35 mm aint it?

[James.G]

i have gone like 45-50mm, but im gonna buy new shocks in a few months anyway.

[Lacey]

i totally disagree, g-max is alright i wouldn't have bought it otherwise! My ex's car handles like nothing else and he's got a g-max kit.... it's how you drive it that makes them snap and it can happen on whatever springs you use. I think it's just horror stories about them snapping, i've never heard of it happening when the person has been driving it sensibly and they've been properly fitted.

g max int that bad, they may not be the best but stil better than standard shocks n springs , my friends got a kit on his clio n that handles pretty well

[Dan]

They do there job yes but they are cheap for a reason.

They do there job, which is whats expected but they dont do it to the point eibach or spax do.

It's like buying gola trainers, they do there job of making you be able to walk on stones etc and keep your feet warm etc but they just arnt the same quality of nike.
