hmmm, very odd

I had PI on my corsa c and had no complaints at all, however did try the apex -40mm and they didnt even fit properly

Still, have to agree with Andy4B, full koni kit all the way

i got Pi's now they are ok for lowering but expect miracles, like they say they do the job but im gonna go koni when i got the money, one things people should pick up on though is if u got a tight budget you have to go for what u can afford. better to get a whole shock set though as PI aint as low as they say they are
