thats what I have. I dont rate G-max springs, but there again I like going round corners and knowing it will get out the other side....and I do go in to them quite fast at times
depends how you drive, if your just wanting the look then I guess they are fine, if you like to drive fast round twisty bits get a better spring kit. I dont see the need for adjustable kits as once you have set them you never move them again ..unless your doing track days
Re: the beast is back!!!
yeah i know my mate who did the springs has recommended billy setups and im sure they around £300 mark, vauxhall wanted nearly £600 for a standard setup so thats why i sort had a look around and found gmax kits for £200 or under

you aint seen me go round them, nor the corners up here

Re: the beast is back!!!
i've found that once you get over a ton ( private road test ) that it feels very bouncy, i never had this with the billys that i had on the 8v.
driving at the speed limits yes they are a comfy ride, but i do like driving fast on my local private roads
