Are RSX Coiloiver or just adjustable dampers? I think i have a PSX kit and the front shocks have gone, but i hear Spax are good so i will no doubt get them again, i don't think it helped having a 16" wheel on a 40 profile tyre! Was a bit of a hard ride!

Does anyone know if its ok to get gmax sport dampers for like £40-50 and then get spax lowering springs and put them together. Would that work?

Yeh lol atm cuz i dnt want my new car to be a monster truck haha so just a simple solution for now untill i see about a ful kit, so for £130 i can get new dampers and springs do u rekon thats a wise option at the moment cuz just replacing springs when goin 50 - 60 can be dodgy apparently.

Would try some eibach springs, 35mm, or speak to Dave A at VSport as he sells springs that are mage by eibach and are fairly cheap which will suit std shocks.
