Im not sure. Im thinkin of going for koni adjustables due to dampning adjust which is what im after not really fussed about ride height -40 is fine. Plus the koni's are cheaper.

Ive heard both sides of the story for these coilovers.

1 persons says they are liek factory style steup, so really good ride not to harsh, but firm and repsonsive to drive.
Then i hear they are hard as fuck. which is what i REALLY dont want.

Plus spacers put me off. also arch clearence may be an issue then too

Siberia: If they are adjustable then they cant be, i presume** of you put them to lowest setting itd be like a standard corsas suspension and all wobbly and crap

So i guess around 50% will be ideal good comprimise between hard n soft

yes i find this most irritating as its such a lottery buying something you havnt driven basically. And its like £400 your parting with, not cheap!

They are stiffer than standard sus, but not hard like -60mm springs from wat i have heard.
Handling is supposed to be better than ANY normal suspension kjit available.

And jambo u dont need higher poundage springs for a 2ltr as far as i know.

Drunkenfool only got a set of these the other day so i'm sure he knows the low down on them.

i'm happy to go ahead and buy as i have been looking at these for months and to the best of my knowledge they will be perfect for my needs.

no you dont need higher poundage springs,

for the corsa c they only do one model for all the engines,

the 1.0 coilovers are the same as the 1.8 SRi and Diesel engines,

im defently going to get some,

put it this way,

i have been looking at getting coilovers for the last 3 months,

spoke to many companies and the best i got was 425 on a special deal where i would have stickers on my car etc etc etc, this was if i picked them up too!

380 is a quality price, and endluing delivery is just bonkers,

i aint gonna miss a price like this!
