   im just abt 2 get some lowering springs and iv seen the gmax ones that can drop it abt 50mm,im not interesting in spending loads of money i jus want 2 get it out of the sky n make it look better. They r around £48 4 the springs....r these any good 4 the money,also anyways ideas who can fit them around thurrock area?

   Theyre ok. Many poeple dont rate them at all. Ive never used then so going off what other poeple say. But try and avoid Geemax, jamex and theres another shitty make on ebay.
   
   If you aint getting dampers aswell, then maybe just stick to spax, eibach, apex, possibly faulkners.

   I have 35mm g-max on at the moment as a temporary fix and to be honest they are fine.
   
   Handles much better than standard and the ride heights just right for me.
   
   I wouldn't want to go any lower on just springs though.
   
   I paid £20 for mine brand new from ebay.

   i had g max on my saxo when i bought it, handled like a boat that was -35m on standard dampers
   
   and £48 is alot for poomax, save for better itll be worth it in the longterm

   TBH mate, i would save and buy something a bit better.
   
   Apex dampers and springs are about £200.

   my mate had Gmax on his front, and one of his springs snapped....they had only been on for a couple of months as well and they were brand new (was a 35mm drop btw) id adives spax if you want to keep on the cheaper safer side

    a mate has a full gmax kit and cant fault it tbh. good enough for road use and comfy enough imo. obviously theres better out there and they wouldnt be high on my list
