front shocks and springs and rear stuts and springs.
Complete to lower the vehcile 35mm all round.


Is it worth for £160?

Is it a good quality kit? Pros and Cons?

I have 195/45/15 tyres on a corsa b 1.4 Sport yr00..though I dont want to lower it too much.

Any replies welcome

Cheers

I've heard that they aren't very good, but never had Pi kit on any of my cars so couldn't say from personal experience.

Get some Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks, much better if you're looking for a cheap suspension setup.

they are not bilstein shocks. they are standard o.e replacements that are made by a company called de-carbon. The bilstein shocks you want are these:

False advertising if that is the case?

not false advertising as such as bilstein actually allow their name to be used on them. They dont have shortened pistons or uprated internals, just the damping is increased by 10% over standard (most o.e non vauxhall shocks are)
