Right need some opinions here cant decide on what to do.. ive the money for FK highsports, but would settle with being a cheapskate and having a -60 Gmax kit

Im talking about these wheels 16" Rota slipstreams

On this car..

with this front bumper

After all its only a corsa with a 1.2 engine.

So trying to decide is hard as Id like it to look good, but will most probably just go with the 60mm kit rendering this thread pointless. But id like your opinions

I said it before drax, il say it again, awesome colour!

Id save your money and go with the gmax kit, you wont see much difference in ride and some people say bad things about the fk coilovers, unless you feel the need to adjust the suspension I see no need. May aswell save the extra dosh.

Thanks, The only reason I was comtemplating coilovers is my drive has quite a bank on it and im worried about catching the car on it when pulling up, That and speed bumps of course.. Ill have a trial when ive got the wheels on to see how low the bumper is

Coilovers, a decent make. The difference is astronomical over springs and shocks.

please dont buy g-max

they are the shitest 'uprated' suspension available. dont get coilovers either, i dont know anyone that has ever bothered adjusting them after fitting them. get a good quality kit, either koni or bilstein (sprintline) they are far superior to anything else available.

All im after is something that will drop it a true 60mm and have the wheels sit inside the arches perfectly. You know the look that fear / pooles car has?

WHAT!!!!

You think you wont notice the difference between a g-max kit and FK coilovers!!!

ARE YOU DRUNK!

Coilovers win all day long but if your not concerned about handling and just want looks then go for G-max kit

My old ones off the nova... one word summerises them.

AWESOME!

Very expensive but they were the only kit i could find with a 1.9" ID for the rears.

if u want handling u shud buy a better fixed suspension kit that costs the same as coilovers. if u want it for the looks id get coilovers cos ul just end up wanting it lower if u get 60mm springs.

tho personally, iv never had problems with gmax. had them on all of my cars and they have handled really well and never dqueaked or anything.

but still if u have the money dont get gmax
