   hi guys, looking for opinions here,
   
   i can only afford to lower the car 35-40mm, and both kits named above meet the drop requirement i have.
   
   i only intend to drive the car predominantly on the road, with a very outside chance i might use on a track at some point.
   
   which of these kits would be most beneficial in the opinion of guys who have them fitted or have tested or experienced both?
   
   i am looking at the 35mm Apex kit from KAM and the GMAX from Demontweeks.
   
   any help would be appreciated on this as i dont want to end up

   both just as good, but probably depending if ure on a budget the Apex is a very good kit, but in its own form for mainly road use the gmax is just as good, i own the gmax and cant fault it and mine is down 50/55mm.

   Gmax is imo one of the most Budget ones you can get. Ride will just be hard full stop lol.
   
   Had it on my saxo and it doesnt compare the the Apex/Bilstien combo I have on the Pug.

   I recommend getting the APEX kit. If you can, stretch to the 50mm kit IMO, it's the same price as the 35mm kit - check here.

   id love to go for the 50mm kit, but restricted due to driveway access, so 40mm lowest i can go.
   
   thanks for the help guys, the Apex seems more popular following searches of the threads, is it a hard ride with the APEX kit?
   
   cheers,

    Why buy twice? Why fit twice? Just get the best you can afford in the beginning.
