My sport has gmax shocks and springs all round,were fitted to the car just before i bought it so months old if you are lucky...

Was just looking on LMF and noticed coilovers for £200...2 year warranty and TUV approved.

Anyone got these or had them? Good or bad experiences?

PLEASE NO DADDY'S BOYS TELLING ME YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR JUST INFO ON THESE PLEASE

but you do get what you pay for, had some on my sport not long ago, and tbh they did the job, dont go down much on the front though for coilovers, maybe around 65mm (and you need to fit the original bumpstops) as the springs are very soft and bottom out, metal to metal with the weight of the front of the car doesnt sound good at all, even over a very small bump in the road or even rough road surface..

just depends what you want from them tbh..

End of the day, id look at it as they will do the job. Provide a lower ride height at which you want and perform better than shocks and springs. Plus 2 years warrenty, can't go wrong.
