Just wondered what people's opinions where on different coilover suspension setups that are about?
I personnaly have heard good things of the Spax RSX kit, as well as Leda (http://www.leda.com) - but the price put me off leda!
Seen some tasty looking FK Coilovers on a guys corsa on here as well, but there are so many companies out there!
Just wanted opinions! Thanks

i have the spax rsx kit, would recommend it.
the only first hand experience that i have had of fk is westsidecorsa's 60/40 kit where the front shocks went after about 10 months. but that was the shock and spring kit, not coilovers.

your right.
everytime i go to the garage to do it ... i start it get bored/lazy and dot adjust it properly
the reson i say its dificult to do the camber is that u cant really set the camber with the wheel on and weight on the car....
its a matter of guessing the cmaber sticking the wheel on and then mesureing it with the machine... then if its not right wheel has to come off gueess again etc.....
i get bored

just wondered exactly which FK Coilovers people have got?
Because looking on the website here:- http://www.fk-automotive.de/en/ then shop then suspension, and they have FK Highsport, FK Koenigsport, FK Silverline Plus & FK Silverline Plus X Coilovers! Hmmm very confusing for me lol
