Eibach are so much better quality than Gmax.

Yes, lots of people will come in now and say "i've had Gmax for blah blah years and their fine". Yes, Gmax are ok, but its value for money more than anything.

Eibach are closest you get to OE spec set up. The ride quality is maintained, although i wouldnt recommend anything lower than 40mm (depending on what dampers ur running?). Eibach quality is far superior to Gmax woteva anyone says, but you pay the price for it.

ie: £100+ for 2 springs for my 306

Apex do 60mm, but the Corsa B springs are a bit crap and will drop it nearer to 40mm. I'd go Eibach mate
