hi guys, i have just picked up a new set of Gmax 30mm lowering springs for next to nothing, and was wondering if they are going to be ok as all the gmax springs i see for sale to fix an Escort GTi are 40-60mm drop. wont know the product code until they arrive but do the springs vary that much?, said they were to fit a mk6 Escort so decided to take a punt as they literally cost a handfull of change lol. cheers

They will be fine bud, their shock absorbers ain't the best though

Oranoco

Their springs are acceptable (ish) from experience but their dampers are chocolate and of very poor quality

Slik Johnson

Ok guys Ive got a question. Ive got a standard GTI as a daily and thinking off getting it a little lower. Obviously as a daily I dont wanna be spending over the odds as Ive got a project running(ish) so what WOULD you recommend

phil_focus

koni strt if they do them for the escort. 30mm lower, fixed dampers, lifetime warrenty

Slik Johnson

How much am I looking at for a full set then?

phil_focus

there £295 for the focus so around that i guess if they do them.

Slik Johnson

Maybe Im being stindgy but I cant be spending that must on my daily if I need as much as I can for the van

phil_focus

upto you what you buy then and 30mm springs should be ok on standard shocks if their in good condition but if their oe i'd be changing them imho.

Slik Johnson

Yer my shock are already looking a little dodgy so Im thinking of possibly buying second hand shocks and spring......but only possibly lol

phil_focus

lol. keep your eyes peeled on ebay and the like then, i'm sure something will turn up.

Cheers. Oh sorry about hijacking the thread lol
