Project SE8
Re: Project SE8
Yea I'll get some pics, they've started on the bodywork again so it'll be a few days. We had the car on the lift without any rear springs in, and when it was lowered to the right sort of height there was a gap of about 2 inches where the spring would sit I asked on other forums (admittedly not this one) and Gmax generally got a big thumbs up which is why I went for it.

Re: Project SE8
i suppose it all depends on how your going to drive your car, i found the g-max was fine for run of the mill driving, but found if i was pushing my car at faster speeds it got really bouncy that was the reason i changed to the Bilsteins
BETTER TO HAVE A CALIBRA AND NOT NEED ONE, THAN NEED A CALIBRA AND NOT HAVE ONE!!!

Re: Project SE8
Maybe a silly question but is anything missing in the back of the car(The first person that puts the bumper gets banned for a week ) ie seats, spare wheel etc?

Good thought but no, everything is still in the car, if anything there's more bits and pieces in the boot and on the back seat at the moment

Done that for PVS last year when I had completely the wrong springs, doesn't help the performance much (going or stopping)

Now Robbie you should know that the Romans never got that far ...they got scared after Edinburgh and built a wall all along the Forth Valley

Ahh right ok
Just a thought, if you havent as yet fitted them, maybe take them to an engineering firm and see how much it would cost to have a batch of aluminium ones made up.....I'm sure there would be some interest on here and other Calibra/Vauxhall sites...
I'd have a pair off you for a start off.
