just fitted GMax front gas shocks with 40mm drop and some Koni Adjustables for the rear also dropped 40mm, and it has transformed the ride and handling, i cant believe the improvements!
although the front looks to be dropped about 60mm the springs were only meant to be 40mm so i am on a winner all round. the ride is a little bit harsh but cornering is effortless now, less bump steer & bouncing.

recommended to anyone with a nova that cant afford coilovers!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah they do tend to make your car stick to the floor better.
So what do you recommend, the GMAX front shocks and springs and the Koni adjustable back?
Are the improvements really that good, some people say that they don't notice any difference apart from less shock absorbtion

i recommend the Gmax, for a budget shocker they are awesome, and yeah the difference in handling is well noticable, smoother ride (less bouncing), but it is a bit harsh
