magic_tree 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Just put some supersport ones on my motor. I t was the first time I had done any suspension work, and it was quite easy. The most difficult bit was getting the old Avos off the front as there was now hex recess for unlocking the locking nut at the top of the struts.Only other thing worth noting was that on the rear passenger side, it was necessary to jack the body up a long way to get the bottom bolt out. The fuel tank stops it coming out.Also, the two bolts on each of the front coilovers detirmine the camber, so you may want to spend an extra ten minutes setting this approximately right on both side. There is a post on here somewhere about this.Not sure how the G Max are set up, but on the super sports I initially set the ride very low, the helper springs were hardly compressed. I found thhat they need to be well comppressed before the ride height is affected that much. They do not dampen much with out the helper springs well compressed.Hope it goes well.
