Personally i dont think there stuff is too bad alot of people will tell you otherwise, but i had a spax non adjustable set up on my series 2 and was quite a nice firm ride, but imo for Ł240 i dont think you can go wrong better than g-max wank shit lol

there adjustible stuff isn' good???

i've been considering their psx kit for the focus (adgustible damping, fixed 40mm lowering springs) as from larkspeed.com its only Ł360 whereas the koni adjustibles are about Ł460 and i'd have to remove the rear shocks to adjust them on the konis!!!

and yeah, stay away from gmax. cheap shit from all the reviews i've heard over the years.

didnt know that, guess thats why the konis are a hundred notes more.

i hear a lot of bad things about gaz but LOADS of people still use them.

this is getting me more and more confused!
