Nearly sorted which suspension setup to get, but have come down to 2 last options, sort of looking which are the best for the money.

G-max £200
Spax VSX £300

Some people have said SPAX are better but are they £100 better if that makes sense. As it is I would get 60mm drop on the g-max or 35mm on the spax.

Who has experience of either or both?

[Oranoco]

Spax without a doubt. G-Max are poorly made shonky tat that verge on dangerous. Utter crap!

[Percy!]

I knew you would say that, trying to see if many more have had bad experience with g-max.

[badboyrsturbovan]

spax as above i found that g-max are poorly made they failed on my mates tomcat and caused a bit of damage but i love my konis myself lol

Koni's would always be my first choice, set soft on a Fez they give a brilliant package when used with the right spring

[Xr_Dub]

GMAX are very good !

I like koni shocks! i got them on @ the momment

But for a package i wud go for gmax! allround

I might have some 60mm gmax springs for u in like 2 weeks!
for £35 if u want! ( im gettting FK coilovers )

[Fezzy Turbo]

Only one choice ........... Spax

Got the PSX kit on the Fezzy and its never let me down in 5 years

[muz]

for £300 you could get some used avo coilovers, payed £300 for mine and they've done 6,000 miles

[Pez]

Bilstein......

[scotty_boy]

spax for me love mine on my Si

[KEVFRST]

We sell Spax all day long, never had a single problem.

[Max M4X WW]

What if he wants it 50/60mm

[Percy!]

The spax kit has been ordered

[TomRS1800]

Excellent and my choice was Spax

[Fezzy Turbo]

What if he wants it 50/60mm

Spax do a 60mm kit ..... like the one on my car

[Max M4X WW]

Sweet, I didnt think they did

[Oranoco]

The spax kit has been ordered

The right choice mate you will be pleased. You may find tha damping a little OTT but you should enjoy the car

[Percy!]

I have looked everywhere and spax only do the 30/40mm drop in the VSX kits, there is a 60mm kit in the PSX kits. but they are past what I need/can afford.

If it really bothers me I will get some 60mm springs later.

May brings the 17's back yet

i find my spax kit well to hard. I havent had them long but will be changing them soon for some coilovers hopefully

If you are finding the Spax too hard don't even think of changing to coilovers. Koni T/A's set soft with some good quality springs. It's about as good as it gets for a Fes used on the road.

[Percy!]

I would rather them 'too' hard, i like to know i am attached to the road.

[Oranoco]

Problem when they are hard though is it's hard to feel the edge of adhession. There is far mor to making a car handle than lowering and stiffening. Koni's set soft will still have a higher damping rate than the standard shocks. Cornering and handling are not the same thing.

You should be pretty much fine with your Spax kit though

[louma84]

save your self aload of money and just cut your springs!

[Percy!]

I have to replace the shocks as a spring broke and then killed the shock.

Cutting the springs is not the way forward in terms of performance or saftey.

So you reckon coilovers will be just as harsh. Why do people always bang on about how good they are then cause the harshness of my spax does my head in . You can feel every little bump and it literally rattles the dash if you hit a big bump.

[Fezzy Turbo]

I have been in a FRST with coilovers and it was too hard and jumpy. My FRST is using Spax 60mm PSX and i much prefer it as it has some give in it when cornering.
