mk3.5 suspension
I've been looking around for a suspension kit for a 3.5 and can only find two kits Weitec Ultra GTs and Spax VSX. Does anyone know which of these are better as regards to ride quality and handling?
Before anyone suggests them i will not be purchasing G-max as this is cheese not suspension

I'd say Spax VSX. Had Spax springs on my old fez and they were top
I myself am running on Gmax suspension and agree it's poo.

I'm getting the Spax, as highly recommended on a budget. You may have to wait a couple of weeks (I've been waiting since the end of Jan) as apparently they're having trouble getting parts.

Depends what model you have. Look at your current shock absorbers, Fiestas with ARBs will have 2 tabs just under the spring cup, one will be holding the brake hose, the other will be the top bolt of the ARB droplink.
Fiestas without an ARB don't have these 2 tabs and the brake hose is attatched on the back I think.
Even if you don't have an ARB, you can still use shocks with the ARB tab, but if you do have one then you can't use the shocks without the tab.

Somebody else that knows about G-Lax
Never had any dealings with Weitec so can't comment on them but have only ever had good dealings with Spax

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
