WHICH 60MM SUSPENSION KIT IS BEST

Postby Fez Si Boy on Mon Jul 28, 2003 1:47 pm

Does anyone know what suspension kit gives the best ride quality out of all the kits? i.e koni, spax, gmax? [ERRR] I heard spax is to harsh, while gmax is cheaper and better quality of ride? is this all true?

well im thinking of getting tsw 15 inch evo-r on 195/45 tyres. Im looking for a kit thats about the same as the original Si suspension ride quality or as near to that as possible. I will get a mechanic to fit them on. I thinking of spending about £100 to £350. I went to C.A.R shop and was looking at a full spax kit 60mm with adjustable dampners that you can adjust to make the ride softer or harder at a cost of £375, but ive heard spax are abit hard, so imagine going over bumps and pot holes, it wouldn't be a very nice ride.

When im finished the car should look wicked, pics wont come till maybe later this year. [ERRR] I wanna respray the car in imperial blue the same as the zetec s. Ive been considering springs like gmax 60mm, but lee on here says his Si had lowered more than 60mm on ther front and I dont wanna cut the arches, and remount the front bumper like he did, so not sure about gmax.
