VSX Spax kit or g max kit....

Postby titley on Mon Mar 20, 2006 10:23 am

Looking at lowering the car next- either gonna get the spax vsx kit or the gmax 30mm lowering kit....

I know everyone will say the spax kit is better- and im sure it is. But for what I'm after (simply having it look lower with better handling) will it really make a difference? Both kits are excellent condition- but the gmax is for £100 and the spax £200....

With out any shadow of a doubt, get the Spax kit. It will out perform the rubbish g-max kit. I have been hearing bad stories of the g-max kits.

There are some things that you should pay good money for on your car and suspension is one of them.

I had Spax and thought they were fine. Too hard for comfortable road use though.

Just because I keep talking about definetly doing it doesn't mean I'm actualy going to do it.

you wont have any problems, they are good kits for the money, but if you after good handling then you need to spend more.
On the road a G-max kit is fine
