GMAX lowering springs?

[funky_d]

Couldn't find anything about these anywhere, but whilst looking for H&Rs for the Twingo I couldn't help but notice these springs by GMAX for only £100, which would lower it 35mm.

Obviously I'm very tempted however I've always been a firm believer that you get what you pay for (hence why I was looking for H&Rs) but has anyone used these ones before? Are they any good?

1.6TD :? :?

 

[funky_d]

I was confused about the 1.6TD as well but didn't think much of it... You don't get a Twingo diesel, do you?!

 

[maggi200]

Not in the UK. And the ones outside I thought were the 1.5 Dci

 

[funky_d]

Hmm, the Megane 1.6 dci in a Twingo?! RS133 diesel anyone...?

Go for a better brand and spend 30 quid more or so lol

I got spax for £116 lowered 30mm on front and 40mm on back. Probably worth the extra £16

Don't go too cheap on coilovers or springs :|

(I payed 750€ for Twingo RS coilovers from Weitec)

Agreed, quality suspension is the way!

 

[funky_d]

Cheers everyone, I'm totally in agreement with the better quality springs. I had the H&Rs on my old Clio and they were superb, would hate to think what the £60 mystery brand ones from eBay were like...

 

[JE_GT]

They are probably like my favourite suspension related saying "Crashy as ****"

The garage that installed them said it's between AP & KW.

He said AP is good but if you want to do some trackdays he seggusted Weitec.

As JE says, they share some parts (it's all KW suspensions). The body of the suspension could be the same but the springs are different.

People that drove with me says it's quite hard or harder than most cars they've driven.

I quite like it, alot less body roll. If your RS isn't a CUP, I'd recommend them.

Ah okay I don't have cup suspension but I would either want APs or Weitecs but I don't plan on many track days tbh

I guarantee you wont notice the difference between those 3 brands until you get into the KWV2's etc.

Can you notice the drop?!

I'm guessing he will have noticed the drop seeing as his username says twingo GT.

Biggest drop for a rs is 30mm front 25mm back using spax springs. Otherwise h&r etc are 25mm all round. Rs is already lowered as standard so don't expect a big drop with lowering springs
