With money being a bit low at the moment do spend of the Fez due to mobing out shorty, I'm having to 'make do' with stuff I normally wouldn't buy.

I've set a budget out for 'temporary' suspension, until I can save and get some Gaz coilovers in the summertime.

But as for the moment I have around £300 for a suspension kit (shocks and springs springs)- doesn't need to be adjustable.

I'm after advice on what makes to look at and any links to good products/places to buy from.

Most obvious, well-known makes are out of the question. I no Eibach are brilliant as are Bilstein, but struggling to find anything within budget (anyone know different then let me know)

There's so many 'g-max' kits about but I'm a bit wary of these... anyone shed anymore light on how 'budget' these really are?

Any advice much appreciated

cheers,
Mish

G max are very good value for money had full kit on my mk2 golf got them new for around £150 been on the car for 4 years and still going strong never heard of anyone having any problems with them id say perfect if your on a tight budget

Avoid G-Max like you would dipping your knackers into a pirhana tankat feeding time. The build quality is beyond shocking. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen cracking at the join between the shock body and the spring platform. The failure at this point almost ended in a fatal accident for a good friend of mine.

At the money you have it would have to be the SPAX kit. To be fair though I'd just wait a little while and get the extra bit to get some Koni top adjustables and then your sorted for good rather than making do

another opinion is to look about on the net and see if you can find a good set of coilovers, should be able to find a good set for 300quid mate

Managed to get a Spax kit well within my budget.

I would have held on and saved for coilovers as I loved them on my Clio, but one of my shocks has a small leak now and the suspension want's sorting really so this is a temporary, if not decent enough soloution

cheers for all the help guys
