Depends what your gonna be using the car for really?
B10 is more than good for general road use.

No point in spending £450+ for general road use imo B10 would be fine.

We gave our views last week when you posted exactly the same thing.
Why not look for that first and find the answers you've already asked?????

B12 if you like to drive your car like it was more than a corsa.
I had that on my old diesel corsa... tried many "budget" set-ups and nothing worked as well as B12 and Eibach.
Top end coilovers also work.

Blacks = OEM parts, only good for upgrading to lower springs, fundementally the same as standard items.
Yellows = Upgraded thicker and strong struts. THE fixed struts to have of a Corsa B...
So
£300 on slightly upgraded items
£400 on vastly superior items, even better than budget coilovers....
Your choice
But as I say, we said all this last week when he asked that same question.

Are you on about the B10 VXR and not the 'streetline' kit as the B10 arnt even black for a start and if you compare the thinkness of the piston they are not just slightly uprated oem parts.
