From experience, I really wouldn't recommend getting just springs. I did that on my old gsi, ok, it looked the nuts, well decked, try going round a corner tho and i was bouncing like a good'n. Just save mate, if money's that tight, even a Gmax full kit is better than just springs IMO

Personally I wouldn't.

I've never fitted just springs to any of my cars because people say it's a bit pants. At the moment mine has standards shockers with Spax springs on at the front. It's terrible.

I was lowered 40mm just on Spax springs and standard shockers for well over a year. Ride was fine, still nice and comfy and held the road alot better than standard.
