All I can Say what a K!!!!!K kit ever, the worst thing I could have ever fitted to my car .

After doing the whole front suspension over the weekend and rear at Waleed Tyre shop.

thinking oh sweet the car wont be as low now and it wont bang hard was I mistaken :( it bangs so hard on a tiny bump on my drivers side and the car is to low for my liking :( on the tyre .

Anybody willing to swop a stock front springs with my n-force set please let me know . asap.

:duim:

Terrible kit...have a buddy of mine who had the infamous red springs on a Corsa B GSi & he had endless problems with it.

Funny how they also say their products are made with precision and good quality.. Usually N-force had a pic of a evo 8 or 9 on their adverts in magazines.. (if i remember correctly) I use to think what evo driver would buy that stuff..

With standard shox doesnt matter witch brand u use u for sure gonna have negitive issues,fact is most 40mil kits out there dont work with standard shox and u will have to source shortend shox,unless u fit eibachs witch only drops to 35mill and works well with standard shox.I used n_force in the estate and had simular issues b4 changing to shortends.Ppl r gou to blame the kits for crappy drives when in actual fact its ur shox thats messing u around,jst my fybob and personal experience!

ek stem saam, but koenics are far better than n-force imo :thumbup: the koenics in my ute are lekker even with std shocks

n-force is kaka with std shocks...speaking out of what i've seen & felt personally. only my opinion though

the reason I posted this is cause I drove in Selwyns Astra which had koenics on aswell with with 17s and new suspension and that car really went over bumps nicely .

the N-force is way to hard

I agree... N-Force is not good at all.
I also agree with Tauzty on Selwyn's ex-Astra ...... JOH!!! that car drove like a dream, u couldnt even tell it was aftermarket springs :duim:
