had nova 60mm springs and shocks on my corsa for about 7/8 months now but they were old when i got them so need new tbh, so thinking coilovers.
looking at getting some of the ebay jobbies for about £230, just wondered what people think of them any good? probs going to buy the ta technicks ones as i remember reading about someone on here being happy with theirs a while ago.
and can you adjust the camber on coilovers? as with my current suspension its out quite a bit.
cheers

you would be better off fitting suspension made from toilet roll tubes and coiled up pipe cleaners tbh.

they are all made in china from bits of scrap.
buy some cheap gmax fixed rate stuff, will be just as good if not better. but still not good.
spend 300 and get a good quality fixed rate bilstein kit that you wont want to throw in the bin after 10 mins of driving.

yeah i would, i just thought coilovers as i thought the option of adjusting the height was pretty good, comfort isnt really a big deal to me to be honest
