It means the body of the car will be sitting XXmm lower.
XX/XX is normally front drop/back drop.
Gmax are OK as far as im aware.

ok, thank u very much x
hey mate i just ordered spax springs for my Mk2 for £84.99 with 35/15 drop on www.potn.com
GMAX are fine at the value they are, but you get what you pay for.
30/15 is a front/back drop. The Mk2 Punto sits a little lower at the front. Definately on the JTD and HGT models. This raises your oversteer, so by bringing them back into line you solve that.

I find my Mk2 is fine at the back looks low as it is already the front looks a bit 4x4 tho which sucks so lowering that the most! was gunan go 50/40 but thought it could be too much hassle
Got my maths the wrong way round there didnt I?!!
The Punto sits lower at the back. So it wont cause oversteer. The understeer would be marginal by the time two people are in the car. As would the grip off the line.
Looks better if its level though, I guess.
Too little sleep!

Can't drop front and back by 30mm? The back drops 15mm and the front 30mm? Am i right?

Can't you have a full car load with 35 at the back then?
Yeah depends what size wheels you have! I have 16"s at the mo and when i have 3 mates in the back feels pretty low to me! If you lower it 2 much you may get slight rubbing but it can be sorted! Its only rubber and plastic that will rub nothing to major mate! 35 should be fine at the back but i just find that my punto looks pretty low at the back at the mo without the lowering but the front looks liek a 4x4 so that the only reason i'm not lowering it too much at the back
