60mm GMax suspension kits advise Pls!!!!

[GTE TURBZ]

Hi Peeps, can you help please, just rang POTN (Performance On The Net) as Gmax dont deal directly with public ''aparently'' to purchase a 60mm suspension Kit for the nova but only do a 40mm drop for the GTE, i asked whether the 40mm kit is in fact a 60mm kit as the GTE's 20mm lowever then standard thus marketed as a 40mm kit (i.e. minus 20mm from the 60mm) but he didn't seem to have a clue!!!!!! :-(

Before i buy it just wanted confirmation as i dont wanna buy the kit put it on and find out its sitting too high.

I put one cav slab on the front with 15, 195 45 profile and the gap between the top of the tyre and arch is around 75mm when i measured a 40mm drop it didn't look as low as the pics ive seen on here with 60mm kits. Pls help??????

As above lol

I wouldn't bother tbh though dude. I know it's not the answer you wanted though lol

I had a 60mm kit on my 14 SR and the ride quality was horrendous. I gave 20 quid for it from a mates Corsa though so I wasn't too miffed.

Advice? save your money and buy a better setup.Gmax are ars.If you want to know the ride quality just save your money and put the springs on your standard nova shocks

[GTE TURBZ]

Too be honest i'm tired now, i've looked at so many threads on this site regarding suspension kits that i care to remember and alot of peeps are saying Gmax are ok for the money and the ride is comfortable, my last nova aparently had jamex now gmax hence why! I just want the desired ride height too give it the slammed look! :-)

igot a 60mm kit from halfords when i worked there for16 quid, cant complaine for the money mate.
dont get me wrong there not brilliant but certainly do the job ok.
ride quality aint a factor when u drive a nova any way. lol

gmax are ubber w4nk. thats my opinion and advice

[GTE TURBZ]

I really appreciate the feed back, but i'm not getting the question answered, to put a spanner in the works, the guy from supernovas in birmingham recons the 60mm kit made for the poverty spec nova go straight on to the sr/gte/gsi.

Whats kits with lowering measurements do you guys have on your sr/gte/gsi pls!!!! did you purchase a specific 60mm kit or 40 (but its actually 60mm)??

Alternatively if someone can recommend a half decent kit for between £250-300.

P.s dont want the extra weight of a coilover kit for pottering around town, cheers!!

Im now thinking of considering the Bilstein B10 kit 60mm F and 40mm R

[craig green]

Good lad.

A whole thread full of people pointing out how crap something is & for a minute it looked like you were going to ignore good advice!

IMO anyone that says GMAX is good/OK havent owned a decent susp kit.
