   Are spax springs any good ? Thinking of buying 60mm springs will standard shocks cope and will handling still be good ?

   i had spax on my last saxo and was impressed with them! obviously theres no doubt better ones you can get at a cost though!! i would definatly use them again but for the prices they sell the full kits for it may be wise to just go for a new dampners all round

   you can run with standards yes, but just bear in mind the extra strain and wear and tear thats being put on them. and how much wear and tear theyve already gained! mileage?
