Im running Gaz coilovers on the front at a medium setting and G-max suspension on the rear -60mm drop.

At speed the rear end seems a little to light for my liking and i feel i could stiffen it up more with say:

Spax adjustable shocks or Bilstein Shocks.

What do people recommend for better handling.

Cheers Jay

(P.s. If anyone is selling either rear setup let me know cash waiting)

i use avo coilovers, quite a few people do on here. The back end will always feel a bit light when going round corners. Well mine does anyway.

Coil overs you can set your height and damper.
Avo's ?580 mint for road/ track days
Bilstein ?1000 competition use

the most important thing with a 2.0 in a nova is that the front springs are rated for the extra weight thats over the front end

if your buying a normal shock and spring kit i'd recommend getting some proper 2.0 front springs from coilsping89 or courtenay (in that order)

coilovers are a bit more forgiving but will still be helped by matching the front springs to the extra weight
