Silverlines are nicerer. Polished stainless steel instead of zinc plated.

i think you'd be foolish not to splash the extra for a longer lasting finish.

i'd have been in two minds before seing people corrosion problems with them, but now theres no way i'd risk the zinc jobbers

No-one ever said they wouldn't improve the handling, they're just not going to do your ride and favours.

Gmax are budget and untill you experience a top end set of dampers i feel you cant really justify your comment. The more you spend the better the quality and features.
