[skidmarkz]

Spax RSX £478.99

FK Silverline - £555.00 - With 2.0l springs
FK Silverline - £495.00 - Without

After reading Olly's thread i was leading towards spax, but just looking for peeps thoughts, 2.0l nova application :)

Or any other suggestion for track use, not fussed about how harsh it is on the road, just want as little body roll as possible on track :)

GAZ, theres a good deal on them in the members section.

trick answer lol, im not a amember :(

[loggyboy]

Dont forget Avos ;)

Although I have Spax RSX and im very pleased, but thats because i got them for a bargain.

become a member and benifit from a good discount on gaz. well worth the tenner!!!

[let_nova]

p.s for what you will save on gaz is more than your money back on your membership.

hang on
"FK Silverline - £555.00 - With 2.0l springs

is that 495 with "normal" springs?..... but then they rape you for stiffer ones that dont cost any more than the ones fitted to the 495 set. fcukers

[skidmarkz]

not heard good things about gaz and novas so far, everyone rates spax an fk .... not looked into avo's any comments ?

[Stuart]

you mean youve heard bad things about gaz, or simply not heard anything about them?

[skidmarkz]

heard bad things, too soft break easy ect...

[Stuart]

too soft is down to setup.... even Nitrons (yes the ones you would have seen on topgear last sunday) tend to come with too soft a spring setup and they cost north of £1K for most applications (cant get them for novas)

heard bad things, too soft break easy ect...

Dunno where you've heard that from, anyone i've came across with them rates them, i've been running them on my car for a couple of years and they've been spot on, i wouldn't say they've had an easy time either !!
Plus GAZ offer pretty good after sales service.

I've used FK 4/5 years ago in my old Nova. And i've Got spax in my 1.4 Nova which are pretty good.

I've got Gaz in my Nova Turbo and find them superb, best coilovers i've used by far.

I find it very hard to believe that anyone would Prefer FK to Gaz coilovers.

But, each to their own.

How many miles have you done in your Turbo? driven with aggression?
