Hi all my corsa is driving me mad lately and im almost considering selling it because the ride is so harsh, and the roads around my area are not exactly in its favour. At the moment I just have a cheap streetline kit from ebay and it supposedly lowers the car 50mm, but it seems alot lower than that.
I want a more comfortable solution, as I love the looks of the car when its lowered, so I dont want to go back to standard, I'm thinking of eibach springs as they supposedly give good ride quality, but which dampers should I opt for, I dont mind using standard ones if they give the best ride quality. What has everyone else got and how comfortable is it?

I put mine back to standard because I got sick of the ride quality when lowered. That was just on -40mm springs and standard shocks.

can do you a road spec Gaz setup with lower damping level valves and 220lb progressive springs if you want? will handle well and be as comfortable as standard, even down low.

lowering heights are in 2 options:
1. standard to -50mm
2. -30mm to -80mm
Rear can go down as much as -80mm on both options.

Is this an adjustable coilover kit then? and what guarantee do I have that it is as comfortable as standard?

yes, fully damping and height adjustable. Think that the fact that I have now supplied over 50 of these custom made kits and not had even 1 return or complaint is a good enough guarantee to their quality. I have done a couple of 'road spec' comfort kits and all have been very succesfull.
