Currently sat in my garage, is a Spax RSX Suspension kit, only done about 6k miles & was on old corsa for 8 months...

As it was bought for my old Corsa 1.4LS, will it go straight on the GSi??

It needs refurbing by spax, adjusters on rear have seized & front shocks need sortin. Aswell as the usual rust issues with SPAX kits...

Or should I sell it 'as-is' and get a set of 35mm Eibach springs & later sometime get some uprated shocks??

I honestly dont know...

broster - how much you reckon I could get in there current state??

they do work fine, but have been stood for 18 months now not on a car and just boxed.

Rear asjusters seized on hardest setting, front shocks, the bump-stops are a bit deed, and also lil specs of rust on the pistons in the shocks.

bits of surface rust all round
