starlybruiser Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well ive been looking around at a few suspension kits and i found these two, they both look really good and are prety cheap too, but are they any good? and also will they fit a glanza? heres the links to them both i dont think they are glanza fitment tho http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/pro...product=3763943http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/pro...product=3686295 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 hi mate, personally, id go for the g-max, i work for a suspension company and I've tried both of these on various cars I've had, and i found weitec to be too soft, and the fact that after around 12 months they start squeeking and paint falling off them, causing them to corrode.if i were you id go for the g-max, there better for stiffness and good quality.good price aswell.hope this helps buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Wow cheers for teh quick reply bud, thats helped with my decision, ive heard that the weitec can be a bit soft and get softer over time too, but looking at the info on the website do you think the Gmax are glanza fitment? cheers buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 what suspension company do you work for scooby killer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 yeah i wud of thought so, its not very clear though isit, i would contact the company first though, just to be on the safe side.yeah weitec arnt too clever to be fair, were as g-max you get three year guarntee, just keep your invoice lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 gmax are cheap crap, never heard of the other one either mate.also, that isn't cheap, i brought in a set of tanabe coilovers for less than that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 well its a motor factor place that we supply parts for near enough every garage around the midlands and wales, but we specialise in exhausts and suspension kits, we mainly deal with Koni, Tein, KYB, Monroae and weitec.we can get any part for near enough any car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Kepp my invoice? haha they normally get lost within a few days i just found this suspension kit on another web site, they say on there that they will fit ep91 and they have the same code as the ones on the other site too heres the link http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/item_detail.php?prodID=57634 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 to be fair, i thought gmax were cheap crap too, until i learnt alot about them from my work, there not that bad to be fair, and I've had them on my polo G40, and if they were that crap, how come they have three years warrenty?

Dan Evans Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 yeah i would have thought they would fit, if theres anyway of you contacting them then do it and find out, nice one bud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 yeah ok nice one mate, thanks for the help, and i agree with you bud, if they were crap they wouldnt have a 3 year guarantee with them, cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 exactly mate, people say there crap, but if you ever get tought how there made and what there built to with stand, you would know why they have 3 years warrenty..trust me, there good.cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Right i cant get hold of the company by phone, and they havent yet answered my email, but i found another site with the shock kit on, and its allot cheaper, but it says for toyota starlet 96 onwards (uk specification only) ?? does this mean that it wont fit my glanza? i thought the uk ep91 starlets had the same mounts as the glanza, let me know what you guys think, cheers, starlybruiser http://www.dcp-shop.co.uk/buy-car-accessor...3108&ref=96 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 what i would do then, is get the part number from the shocks on the internet, then fone somwere like demon tweeks, tell them everything bowt ya car, say you want gmax springs and shocks, then ask for there part number, and hopefully they will be the same, thats the easiest thing to do bud.

starlybruiser Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ok matey, will try that, im just in such a rush to drop my car lol, you know how it is cheers buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 no worries, just make sure the part numbers are right, tell them its a glanza etc, then ask them what the part number is, dont tell them you want to find out because your buying them somewere else because there fuckers like that, you may wanna get a couple of prices from tweeks anyways, they do some good stuff and if the suspension does fuck up, you can always take it back lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Scooby Killer - Do u know if any company that makes uprated suspension bushes for the starlet n/a. As the normall ones would ware away as they are not as strong. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 i think Power flex do really well for themselves, they are very good on suspension, demon tweeks sell them, umm or if its really hard driving ie track, id go white line bush kits, there hard to get for the N/A, but il speak to a few contacts from my work and see if they can get hold of them and give you a price bud ok mate.
