Guest XR09 Guests Posted 11/07/12 09:37 AM Share Posted 11/07/12 09:37 AM As long as the damper is mated to the spring weight they should be ok.Until you start paying decent bucks for decent stuff it's more a question of how long they will last.

The only reason I would go with better stuff is if you had the cash, you really like going through the twisties or you plan on keeping the car for a long time. The falcon is still a boat regardless of what you put in it, hence my decision to change to something a little more nimble and fun to drive.I'm with slash in saying that it is generally worth getting the better stuff but when you can't afford it you can't afford it.I know I can't.

Don't be fooled though, old Laurie at King springs is fairly conservative so the GTs will still be quite comfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving house soon so need to buy new stuff (all my other stuff is at the ex-partners which she's keeping) so will need cash for that, plus just spend a grand on tyres and a few other parts/maintenance things. As a pretty standard daily I hope this combo will work well.I see what you did there Mr Jetson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
