FK's - get them from somewhere like Bat motorsport who know what they are talking about when it comes to 2.0 Corsa's because you want the right wieght front springs for the shocks...

The bare miniumum would be uprated springs but it's a good idea to uprate the handling quite a bit on the Corsa though... They weren't really meant to have a 150bhp engine in them, understeer...

i've got apex shocks with pi front springs and chassis dynamics rear springs. just because they were still lying around from when i had the old corsa.

not had the engine in long enough to really test the handling yet, but hopefully it will be adequate.

wanting to upgrade to billstein shocks with eibach springs as soon as money permits.
