Best spring kit?

Topics related to styling, bodywork, wheels, interior etc.

Currently i've got some puma springs on bilstein uprated dampers. These are ok but didn't really lower my car the 35mm it said it would, even though they've had time to settle in.

Just wondering what springs or lowering kits (springs ideally) people have used and what u think of them, like is the ride too harsh and did they lower ur car evenly all round rather than higher at the back than the front, etc.

Cheers

(sid in homer simpson styleee) Mmmmmm.... Konis! :lol: :lol:

Yeah if i had the cash it'd have to be the konis or maybe some coilovers. Just had the new dampers tho so can't be RSed.

Didn't the G-max guys buy out jamex? i heard they are good kits too.

Anyone got anything to say about the spax kits as i've heard different things about 'em

Yep Jamex are G-Max!! So i'd still recommend them! :wink:

Spax arent too bad either. All comes down to price as you say.

I was thinking of -40mm H&R-springs.

Have you guys experience with these?

i say go for it. you cannot go wrong with H&R, they are the top. Quality pieces of kit, even the springs.

I've got myself H&R Coilovers which will be going onto my Fezzy real soon. :grin:
