i am currently looking at all different kinds of suspension set up for my corsa B 1998 1.2 8v (dont laugh, it wont be that size forever)
looking for a -50 drop allround and good handling. Also, the suspension must be able to cope with a 1.6 16v or a 2.0 transplant.
is this actually a good peice of kit and wheres the best place to get it from?
cheers guys

if you decide to go for a normal kit most people will reccomend Koni yellow dampers and either Eibach/Whiteline springs...

I had a spax psx kit.

Was really good quality kit, but the drop wasnt quite the 40mm it stated imo, so ditched them in favour of FK highsport coilovers. Am well pleased with them, even though they dont offer adjustrable dampening, that is a toy you'll get bored with and wont use for long.

FK highsports all the way mate
