   ebaich sportlines 45mm though or spax but if your wanting really good handling dont get them made my car understeer, still gripped well and was better than standard.
   or get ebaich pro kit 30mm drop which arrived at my door yesterday

   I have Spax, and i get no under-steer. Well worth getting. Or Eibach, both very good makes.
   
   Cheers

    i wouldnt have a low budget tbh, suspention is a pretty important thing, and its not a good idea to cut corners and go cheap like you can with things like speakers.
    
    but any way, id say eibach or spax

    yes those spax ones are ok, but tbh eibach FTW.
    
    only thing eibach dont do -40 ! so you either for -45-50 and risk rubbing with 16's or -30 which might not be low enough for you or you go with the spax ones, its up to you really.

    dont expect it to look 40mm on gmc's, i had them and sold them to spenncer cammed vts (see his thread it doesnt look 40mm on his either, i also have some old threads around with pics of my car on gmc, spenncer doesnt think they look 40mm)
    GMCs are meant to have uprated shocks, put it this way you dont need to compress the springs at all when fitting them! They were nice stiff springs though, but when going ovver big bumpers in country lanes can feel them doing fuck all just floating about not compressed.... also if jack car up need to make sure they dont slide round as when you de jack it they may not sit right
    
    Ebaich i have to try, which i will when get them fitted going for 30mm

    Car on 40mm GMC springs
    Used to make it look like the front was point in the air as the rear was lower.
    
    
    
    And car on 40mm spax
    
    
    Doesnt look too different on photos but when next to it in person could easily tell the difference, on gmc looked 30mm if that......
    
    And spencer_cammedvts with the 40mm gmc springs
    
    Doesnt look 40mm at all......
    
    Hope this helps with your choice.
