Technical Lowering my Punto

[wee silver punto]

Hey guys couple questions with regard to lowering!

First of all is G-Max a good make of spring?

Second i read in the haynes modding book for puntos that if you use springs it can affect the dampers etc is this true? As i have 30mm drop G-Max springs for my punto?

Thanks

First , g-max is allright but not the best .

Will affect the standard dumpers , as the standard dumpers are not ready to use lowered springs.

 

[wee silver punto]

what are the best? and what effect will it have???

The lowest i think for a mk1 punto is 40mm, any lower and it will burst the seals on the shock absorbers after about 6 months. I got 40mm PI springs on mine and they are quite good. I will fit uprated shock absorbers as and when my standard ones wear out. (Didnt have the money to do it all at once)

[Rob19]

Should be ok

G-max springs are horrid... they knock and clonk all the time

i have gmax 35mm springs, i find them firmer than pi springs but not as firm as spax springs

going 30mm on 17" are fine, you can even drop to 60mm on 17"'s...

I hunted around garages to get my springs fitted? what should i expect to pay?

I got 2 quotes so far

120
100

anybody near stirling, scotland that can fit springs cheaper than 2 prices stated?
