G Maz Springs

[rudders]

Hi guys, i ordered a set of g max 50mm for my galaxy 3 weeks ago and they have just now come. The thing is, is that they are black and i thought that g max are always red. Has anyone else had black ones? I have not fitted them yet because i need 2 new shocks as the top nuts are well and truely rusted and now i have got to cut the shocks off, WHAT A PAIN

Sounds as if you need WD40, a can of red paint and some patience..... :)

Tryed WD40 seatkid and that's no good, i kept spraying it for a couple of days before i tryed to take them off. The only thing for it is to clamp the springs and the get the old grinder and cut the shaft of the shock. I am not worried about them being black but i just thought that g max are all red and they usually say on the shock G MAX MOTORSPORT but they don't say that, i was just wondering if they are genuine, it is most probably me being a idiot :lol: I rang up wilco to see how much 2 shocks would be and they have 2 listed, gas and fluid. How can i tell unless they leak.

I got them from a link from this forum mk2vr6, it is a company called carismastyle (www.carismastyle.co.uk). There is a few people on here which has got them from this company.

Certainly sounds like you've been given different springs. The GMAX's I bought from Carisma a couple of months ago were red and had Gmax stamped onto the spring, plus the big giveaway is that they came in a GMAX box! I'd be phoning Carisma to complain that you didnt get what you paid for. Yeah they may fit the Galaxy but are possibly an inferior make, different rating or non progressive unlike the Gmax-I' ve certainy never heard of Mountney making suspension parts although I did have one of their steering wheels years ago.

You ordered GMax so it should be GMAx that you get, its a bit like ordering a Tag Heur watch and the shop sending you a Casio instead, yeah they both fit your wrist and tell the time but its not what you paid for.
