Ah the old arguement starts again :rolleyes: :lol:

Personally if there was'nt any issues with the standard setup then i would go for that again but if really need be you could use the Geemax as you have them already so it would save you a few quid!

Right... I've had g-max on my fiesta and they are SHOCKING

I will post some pictures comparing My Bilsteins and my G-Max. :)

They are poor quality and flex even though they claim to have a three year warranty.

Hey,

i had gmax full set up on my Si and I thought it was really good.

Ok I didn't have anything else apart from just springs to compare it with, but I was really happy with them

And if they're in your garage...why the hell not!

If you dont mind the spring cups breaking clean off while driving then fit the g max!

I've seen some the down right dangerous manufacturing faults with these shocks. Some people on here do say that have had no problems but I would expect the majority of people would recommend against them. If you've got decent lowering springs at around 25-35mm use those with some standard shocks. It's the best setup I've found, personally I find Bilsteins a bit too hard.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.
