Spax ???

[Dee]

Spax adj top mount shocks, whos ever used them.

I have bought some and i will be fitting them soon, i mainly bought them for drifting so i can adj the settings accordingly to track and road

[fuzzy]

i have a set on my touring,i think they are well up to the job but some find them a bit to hard, even on the softest settings.

Well that will do me then, and are they the new ones that have this krypton gas in

I have the SPAX PSX kit (adj shocks & uprated, lowered springs) on may car, on the road I run them at setting 14 (half way on the new kit, old kit used to have 14 settings new one has 28 ). This is a bit hard for normal driving (CD's jump going over bumps) but when you push it they are f*cking excellent!

In saying that I also uprated all the bushes and added front & rear strut braces. All in they make the car feel totally different - much, much better.

I've had her on a track too, but the mid settings are too soft for fast cornering (could still lift the inside wheels). But I've never tried drifting (not a car anyway).

Don't get too excited now Dee, we don't want any 'accidents'

Save that for when they're fitted - you're gonna love 'em!

Make sure and let us know how you get on with them.

[alan325i]

i got them on mine, MASSIVE differance from standard ones even though the wife dont like them to much, says they r to hard

[Dee]

i will let you all no how i get on once they have been fitted, and the good thing is i am the only one who gets in my BM

[garyp_E30_325i]

Once they're on, if you get a chance to play with the settings let me know how you get on... I reckon less than 7 clicks would be too soft for hard driving, probably somewhere between 10-14 for fast road driving and 21-28 for track use, but need more chance to try myself (sh*t, ain't getting much time to play with her just now )

sorry to dapend things i have no first hand experience of spax but have heard from one trader that every single spax adjustible kit he has sold, regardless of application have all come back under warranty broken!

Spax have a poor name in the motor trade is all i know!

[herman]

Got them on my M3, drives like on rails with very controlable oversteer, LSD helps. Looking forward to track day in south Wales 29th Oct, let you know how I go on, wet or dry. Last time in the wet at cadwell park I spun my 328i down the centre of the track at 80 coming out of a corner.

Eh!?

Nah, sorry mate. Spax have been around for years, won many rallies, sworn by many a clubman racer. I know racers who swear by them. Also, I bought mine via my cousin who is a motor factor - has been in the trade for over 25 years and he reckons they're as good as any, never had any bother, never had any returns.

All I can reckon is that the trader in question doesn't sell Spax (or doesn't make enough profit on them) and is trying to flog something else instead, something with a nice juicy 40% markup!!!!
