My -60mm Gmax kit is solid. A "smooth ride" is the last way I'd describe it

i've got gmax dampers, and 50mm spax springs, is quite a harsh ride, but handles quite nicely.
had 60mm gamx springs and it was really bumpy then

g max are shite. save up a bit more and get the bilstein sprintline kit.( yellow shocks) if u do buy a budget kit u WILL want to upgrade it in no time at all. after all. the sprintline kit is only £100 more than gmax kit. and you Will feel the difference

ps. for good handling dont go any lower than 45mm.
