Right i need to buy some 40mm springs, hopefully tomorrow!
Im very tempted to go for G-Max, but ive heard from a few people on cs that g-max=poo.
So then shall i get spax, koni, apex, pi, bilstein, fk or eibach

If ive got enough dosh i might just decided to buy a full kit, cos i don't want to buy just springs then in a few months time find out that i need new shox too!
Ive got a vectra delta gsi front bumper at the mo and 17's.
Im thinkin i won't catch speed bumps lowering 40mm, or am i wrong?

Please help me decide soon!

Cheers Ness

anywhere that sells eibach, although expect to pay £130 ish for them

i got mine off e-bay from germany, £86 delivered. brand new. still sells them as well.

they are fine with standard shocks, more like a 40mm drop imo.
