ye i was thinkin of gettin spax...

ive got a full spax kit and its good,but i cant compare it to anything else because this is the only car i have had lowered

when you get a 'full kit' for a saxo, is it just springs and dampers for the front, and the back is left alone because its a torsion bar?

blisten are by far the best in my opinion! their a cracking setup!

puzzledzippy · 4th August 2006, 20:17

in the full kit you get 2 dampers and 2 springs for the front and 2 dampers for the rear

aaah, dampers for the back. makes sense now, cheers! togh job on the back is it?

I agree, get your wallet out.

i got mine done by a garage as it not the sort of thing you want to go and do wrong.some people do have trouble with the torsion bar being seized.

gelo · 4th August 2006, 20:28

yeh i think the torsion bar is always the big explanation mark really

Stay away from cheap springs.. The like of Pi and G-Max are not worth purchasing in my eyes. If you are going for a 40mm drop I'd go for GMC springs, but it would be better to go for some 30mm Eibach's or H&R's.

Iv'e got an Avo/Eibach setup on mine (wasent cheap though), really good suspension actually. Talk to GSMotorsport, he talked me through all the kit's and how they would personally benifit your way of driving.
