Bit bumpy on normal roads, but can't fault my kit when it comes to driving my car hard - ask people like mattb and snowy etc - who have seen how I take roundabouts

of course its not the best - but thats what you pay less for at the end of the day. But for the money it seems decent enough

only when i changed over to my fk coilovers did i realise how shite the g-max stuff was. I found it way to hard for a typical english B road.

yes its hard - but when I'm ragging my car I want it nice and firm.

As I've already said - it's all a matter of what people are after and they're budget... I personally couldn't afford coilovers, wanted to lower my car and sort out my dodgy shocks. So buying the kit was wicked

im sure there is better stuff out there for the same money. Also sorry as that was a poor conparison, but i found when i was pushing the car it would bounce and skip over small dips and bumps in the road, i didnt find it very confidence inspiring.

well if i had the money i would go for coilovers, but due to me now owning a flat i cant justify spending hunderds of quid on my car anymore, hence why i am only goin for a cheap set up, just soemthing better and firmer than standard.
The comment about the car skipping over bumps, i would have thought that this would be the case with any uprated suspension, but i may be wrong.
I currently have some 60mm springs sitting in my hall so REALLY wanna get some shocks soon.
