Whats the best suspension kit for 16 sport?
Was thinkin of gmax as thyre just over £200.
Would like the car to be slightly squat ie a bit lower at the front than at the back, also i'll be runnin standard 3 spoke 14's, dont want it too low as they bounce alot at the front, what kit damps best?

Cheers peeps for an replies or opinions

I've got the full G-max Kit (-40mm), but it actually lowers more like -65mm. I would definately advise against G-Max, spend a bit more and get Koni or Bilstein.

Apparently bilstein and Gmax shocks are made by the same company. so how can bilstein charge more? id actually just like to go down about 25 or 30mm but dont think any1 does a kit unless i go for coilovers.
dont care about how low it looks would rather hav a good set up and more comfort ride as i drive some bumpy roads

Id suggest a decent set of shocks. AVO are good shocks, as are gaz, koni, leda.

PI aint bad for a standard kit. Just over 200 quid and are 30% uprated.
