Greenstuff are good if you are lazy and CBA to clean your wheels every 2 days.

I used standard GM bits all over, and it was fine.

Nice one mate, will make a big difference

I had this kit on my corsa, very impressed with them, but the hose kit makes a difference, without them they are dead spongy.

Anyway here is a pic behind the wheel of my corsa, fills it nicely:

I.e The more unsprung weight your car carries (wheels, brakes etc) the worse it will handle...
