Which fast road kit?

Postby beaker on Sun Sep 18, 2005 10:56 pm

I'm looking to do an upgrade and have narrowed it down to Koni, Bilstein (both aout £400) or GMax (half that @ £200).

Which do you lot think? I know Konis and Bilsteins are good, but are they twice as good as GMax? (Ignoring the fact that they are adjustable too)

I have a g-max kit on my xr2i have to say for the money im well impressed i couldnt afford to spend loads so it was a bargain and the improvemtn in handling is immense i can now take corners at mor then 30 mph.

Depends really obviously the koni and bilstein would be better quality but if you dont wana spend loads then the g-max is more then good enough in my opinion.

Id go for spax. Build quality 10times better than g-max and only £30 or more.

Well currently I've narrowed it down to:
- Koni Reds (RSK) - Off Car Adjustable ~£310
- Spax VSX ~£260 - Fixed Rate
- AVO Chassis Dynamics ~£260 - Fixed Rate

I've heard that all three are good makes (Spax being TUV approved which is good.) The koni's are adjustable, but you need to take them off the car, so is it worth it?

Which would you lot go for?
