I had a gmax set up only lasted 5 months before they went wrong.....And there customer services are SHOCKING took me 2 weeks to just get any news on what was going on with my suspension! In the end i demanded my money back.....3 months on i finally got it! But then again some of my mates swear by them.....but my personal opinion is there is better out there for not much more money!

I also have complete -35mm gmax kit on my 1.6 Si. Handling is much better than the standard suspension it replaced. Big improvement on a track, though I do try to be careful of potholes and large speed humps when on the road. Been on a year and still working fine - and I carry some heavy weights in in (6 wheels/tyres and a toolbox) all over the country. Also had a complete engine in the back when I collected it without problems.
I can't say how they compare to other makes, but they seem to be the cheapest available, and I got mine half price so quite happy at the moment.
