Hey,

A mate of mine who is a mechanic says that i need some new shocks for my car as the new ones are screwed.

He did not really know where to get them from, but he would fit them for me.
Makes he suggested are:

Coney?
Spax?
Bilsteins?

Anyone got any new, or any suggestions for some makes?

They need to fit my 1999 3dr Corsa (B)

Cheers for any help,

Corsaevu.

its just that the problem is that i have 15' fox alloy wheels that are hiting the tops of the arches over small bumps. So i need a sports suspension kit to tighten it up, i might lower it anyway.

What height drop would look good?, pics of my car in york gallery page 5.

Just so you know i am a 'proper' mechanic.

Having worked for two vauxhall dealerships since 1998 thus becoming vauxhall qualified and now in training at a local BMW dealership.

Plus ive done 90 % of the work on my car and majority of my mates.

think thats enough qualifications.
