I've done a quick search and can't really find anything that answers this very well, so how easy is it to fit coilovers all round on a 1997 Corsa B Sport? are there any complications with the back because of the standard rear springs not actually going around the shock etc?

any advice will be very helpful

the rear is the same set up as standard, the spring is not around the shock, so its a straight swap. fronts need the top mounts putting on the coilover and mine needed the camber setting up. otherwise pretty simple. just like putting uprated dampers on

i didn't have anything in mind, i've got abit of money together and the car is definately getting lowered. i was just looking into the different ways of doing it and how difficult they'll be etc. i'll probably be heading down the coilover route now though

easier to do than normal struts, as they can be assembled without spring compressors
