Hi there,

has anyone used these and are they any good?

Website doesn't give any indication of brand etc...do they really lower 35mm and are they decent quality?

I've got some but not fitted em, just got em as they were cheap and I wanted to experiment with very simple lowering.

They look ok actually.

I was concerned they might not have enough coils so would fall out of the shockers but they look spot on.

Cheapest i can find anyway...

Cheapest I could see as well! they seem pretty damn sturdy, and the old ones on mine are in a bad way visually (though it handles well).

I am going to borrow Summeh's spring compressors and stick em on after I do the torsion bar. I dont wanna go really low as the shocks are standard and may start to act odd...but its just an experiment for now!

Aye! I have a lot of shiny things at home, it's just finding the time/balls to fit them all!

Water pump
Springs
Track rod ends
Battery mount (dont think it needs it)
Lambda
Fuel Filter
Refit Thermohousing...again.
Decat
Exhaust brackets and Magnex exhaust hopefully!

Need a drill and good quality bits too for the various seized bolts hehe.

Think the box just says something like GSF Sports. I'll check tomorrow!

Ok, box says: GSF Sporting

There looks like there was some infor on the springs as well but it has been rubbed out in transit.

They look beefier than ordinary shocks, and obviously, shorter...

Not sure when I will be able to fit mine and give an appraisal as I have more urgent jobs to do and little time!

mines got them on, -40mm has a really nice stance and arent too hard of a ride just bought some new OE shocks tho so considering getting some different springs, cant go standard tho the stance looks too good

Would be interested to see some pics as they're the cheapest by far.

Can you get some side on so i can see how the tyre-arch distance is?
