Title: G&M Shocks and Springs?
Post by: fomus on 19 April 2008, 17:25: Has anyone ever fitted G&M shocks and springs?

From what i have been told by the people at elite direct they come with a 2 year manufacturers guarantee and are worth the money. Was just after a little bit of cheap drop for my mk2.

Does anyone else have any recommendations if these are rubbish?

Post by: fomus on 19 April 2008, 17:54: About Ã‚£200 i think. Didn't want to spend tonnes as its only a ryder and i only need it to last me another year or so just fancied it a bit lower whilst i have it.

I can't say i have ever seen them anywhere other than elites when i was getting a tire done.

Really you could get a barely used full set up for half of what you would pay for the G&M stuff.

Having said all that though, i have no idea about the quality of the G&M set-up :smiley:

Yup, I've got a set on the way as we speak!
