Hey guys, I'm new to the forum but I'm here to learn about which parts and mods are best for the Corsa.

I'm looking to do quite a lot to the car but I'll be starting with the suspension and a set of polybushes.
Which brand and model of suspension do most people recommend for price and performance?

It's to be used as a light trackday car and a hooligan city car!

I have a general idea on mods, it's just there isn't much info on which parts are good for the Corsa.
I'd like to spend around £300 and the best I've come up with on that budget was an APEX set from ebay for £290
But I also found a Spax kit for just over £500. I'm just not sure on the quality or performance gains of these over the cheaper lesser known brands.

I got my Apex kit from this site - http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=2144&manufacturer=Apex&category=Suspension

Was £250 when I bought it but has gone up a bit now (which is expected seeing as it was well over a year ago ) but that site has a decent rage at pretty good prices anyway, and good service
