the spax were so bad you could jack the car up faster than the damper would allow the spring to extend! theyre okish till you find a series of ruts which compress the spring and the damper doesnt allow it to extend properly cos theyre massively overda,ped, made for really funny handling on certian surfaces.

TBH from what ive seen and read, im keen to try gaz, but otherwise id opt for a proper spring and shock setup and forget all the coilover will waving. Bilstein or koni
