I want to get some coilovers for my corsa. Not really sure what to go for just want something reasonably priced, front and rear height adjustable and lowers a decent amount. Also not too expensive would be a bonus

cheers Gav

GAZ are expensive but meant to be top notch, if your planning on keeping the car a while get them, if its just a fart in the wind go for some cheaper ones

the most popular choice for your everyday coilovers are FK highsports. Gaz are supposed to be good if you want to spend that little bit extra.

dont bother with coilovers.... You wont adjust the height in any usefull manner if at all once you have them fitted

Get a decent set of fixed height billies

under £450 = forget coilovers, get a decent fixed height kit like the bilstein b12

£450-600 = Gaz coilovers offer full front and rear ride height coilover kits, adjustable damping and spring poundages

£600-900 = Gaz gold motorsport spec kits with full bump/rebound adjustment and lots more inc camber and castor adjustment

£900+ look at bilstein or koni coilovers.
