okay, im getting a new kit on monday but dont know which to go for. had my mind made up a bilstein sprintline kit but £380 is a bit too much. have been ofered a koni sports kit (top adjustables) but have read they are VERY hard? have also been advised to get an fk high tec kit, under £250 and is very tempting.

any sugestions are much appreciated!!!

You've gotta be kidding.

The G-Max kit I had on my Corsa was crap.

My G-max kit lowered by far too much. Go for either Spax or Koni. But ultimatly it depends on how much you can justify spending on your car.

i used the original vauchaull top mounts and bump stops front and rear as the g-max jobbies looked a little small and weedy

i like it not to stiff but stiff enuff

steering and it give predictable understeer when its flat out and the toyos are getting killed

From my experience they were all a fairly harsh ride. Ill say one thing for the g-max kit though, it handled brilliantly if stupidly low.
