my gmax ones are pretty wank to be fair, want some really stiff ones, not to bother about the ride quality lol

ta, lee

Neil@FastFord

Call GAZ. They will spec them to suit.

KEVFRST

Or Try Faulkner.

Why do you want really stiff? Oddly this almost certainly won't help with how the car handles.

I changed my -60mm springs for -30mm items and the car gained ride quality, mechanical grip and far better feel and handling

Ken_ZS

if you want stiff but a nice ride ul need shocks to suit plus shocks go a long way to stiffening up the ride, if you aint got shocks buy the g max 1s n u might find its ok and alot stiffer wiv a great ride

i had g max shocks n springs on my old rover n they were excellent, lovely ride and it handled really good, then when i got my ZS i fitted pi springs wiv standard shocks and always knew i needed shocks to stiffen it up more, now im on gaz coilovers n i love it haha (exept if im not feelin wel, then drivin my car is hell)

Oranoco

G-Max are iffy verging on downright dangerous with very poor build quality. I've seen loads of their kits cracking round the spring platform. I wouldn't even recomend them to somebody I didn't like.

Avoid G-Max suspension like you would dipping your hairy bean bags in a pirhana tank at feeding time.

Coilovers in Harlow mate you must be potty. My dad lives there and I'm fed up of almost losing my car down the pot holes.

Ken_ZS

haha i got a third eye for pot holes n speed ramps. its good cos it slows me down

didnt no this bout g max tho, il take it all back haha

Oranoco

Go faster then you skim the tops of them

Poundage of springs will only help if the shocks them selves are uprated and can handle the adjustments of damping.

hmmm,

i have gmax springs and dampers and there shite,

my mate went from standard shocks and unknown springs on his si to gmax set up, and there shit to ,

so idealy id like to move away from gmax,

might just get standard dampers and koni springs until i can get some coilovers

Neil@FastFord

Why not just get a koni kit in the first place? Better than doing half and half and then upgrading....i regret my coilovers around town.....

Oranoco

I know this is not the time or the place.


But.....

















Told you so On track they are though

How is project pocket rocket mate

because im 17 and its a shity old fiesta,

love it to bits, but at the end of the day, its project budget build, and i want to spend as little as possible,

however, my mates just fitted mk3 early struts and springs all round on his mk3.5 si, so i might be able to pick up an early koni kit cheap

Ken_ZS

see now my coilovers have custom spring rates, friend told me mine were harder than the normal gaz kit and i gotta b honest my car rides really wel! a mate of mine had the off shelf gaz kit on his ZS and took it off within a week cos his back was hurtin him, i have never had pains wiv mine! like to go in a off shelf version or have some1 like neil go in my car to see how they think it feels compared to other coilover cars!

Oranoco

Mk3 and Mk3.5 struts aren't interchanagble as the hub is different. Might want to let your mate know before he kills himself
