I've got Spax Kryptons for my LET with a 280lb front spring. Fully adjustable and handle superb. Make sure you have a firm poundage front spring because it'll just bounce and flex like murder.

Best coilovers, how much do you have to spend!
the best affordable ones are bilstein pss-9's IMO, i have them on my car and they are awesome, iv had avo, seen and fitted a full range of kits from fk to leda, and the quality and ride of the pss-9 kit is very hard to beat!
some to look out for are AST, more track orientated, so not sure how they will weather, and not 100% they list the corsa...

avo dont design coilovers just to be -100mm

i agree with broster, coilovers arnt just designed so you can deck your car. bilstein are very good set up, if you could get a matched damper and spring they will be very good.

Because thats what 90% of people have coilovers for,lol
You can get great handling with a good spring/shock setup. The Grp A big piston Blisteins come to mind.....
What springs have you got fitted in that pic? And standard top mounts or alloy?

Id spend the 1200 on the leda's so somewhere around that.
how would you rate the leda's to the pss-9's ?

jamex,hottuning,gmax are practically the same thing. great for slamming your car into the weeds, but ive heard they're even harsher a ride than FKs
