Decent suspension kits??

[McPikie]

I'm looking at getting a full suspension kit for my valver, but I don't wanna spend 600+ on coilovers.

I wanna drop it 30mm maximum, and it gets used everyday for driving to work, so can't be too stiff.

I was thinking about a set of GMax. Anyone got a set? If so, what are they like?

If not, what do you chaps recommend?

spax

Look on K-Tec.....Coilover kits can be got for nowhere near 600 squids, looking at £435ish for a Gaz Kit

As for G-Max NO DON'T DO IT they are shit beyond belief...

Bilstein would be the choice for me if not going for coilovers

[Clio_GTT]

just get some springs, then the ride won't be too hard.

[Mish_16V]

If you lower on springs with standard suspension the ride won't be harsh???

I beg to differ

[lumber]

hmm agree low springs with standard shocks, well hardcore, quite like that though!

Mate, whatever you do, please, please, please dont go for Gaz coilies, they are complete muffin, a stock Williams Vs a Gaz'd one wins hand down, i'd imagine same for the valver. Gaz coilovers are only good if you want to raise your car by about a meter, but forget handling and grip, you simply dont get it. This is tried and tested many a time and an average driver on stock setup is quicker than a good driver on Gaz'. Get Avo's, bout same price as Gaz and can honestly say better than stock... but, imo save you pennies and get a Williams wide track conversion from Winston or someone i reckon.

What John says IMO. If you have to lower go AVO. Having spoken to the Kirnanator who had those though, he wishes he'd kept the standard suspension now as he reckons that lowering it ruined the handling.

i know its not a valver, but i had avo coilovers and although i thought they was good i prefered std set up tbh, rather have std williams set up over most kits

Springs on tehir own aren't that bad, i had my 1.2 on just springs and the RSI was on just springs for ages, if you are looking for ride quality keep std suspension, if not stop bitching about ride quality, its all i seem to see/hear when people are talking about suspension.

To me ride quality is un important, whats important is how well it holds the road and soaks up those mid corner bumps to the minimum of skipping
