not a coil over design. want seperate shocker and spring set up.
must be quite tough/hard ish and suitable for lowering springs, but not a massive amount of lowering if that makes sense.
no spam in this thread.

what do you actually want them to do though?
Go low?
Run high poundage springs?
Adjustability 1 way, 2 way or even 3??
Have lots of travel?
I have no idea on corsa suspension anymore... other than stay away from shite like FK, AP etc etc

high poundage springs, i dont want it to be all that, it needs to be higher than it is now. doesnt need lots of travel at all.

I liked the rsx kit more than the gaz gha as well, only thing better about gaz is rear coilover so have more adjustment and fronts accept 2.25" springs

Bilstein B6 with eibach springs
B8 is more suited to extensively lowered applications.

i want it higher than it is, and a lot more rigid.
thats an interesting price jaime, looking at your breaking list i may want something else as well.

I assume poundage on standard springs is not enough then?
What is the current ride height compared to standard. Eibach pro kit does not lower by a lot 20mm iirc. The sport lines are the low ones.
No sure you will find higher poundage springs that are standard height. But -20 mm is spilling hairs IMHO.

if youre on a computer, the cog bit on the youtube menu of the video allows it to be slowed down in speed. can see how much it moves the weight and squats the back down raising the front up. and thats shite.

GAZ came with 160lb on the rear standard
Can easily get higher rate ones.
Problem is with reverting back to pig tail spring is no one will make you a custom one so you're going to have to run a coilover spring where the pig tail is so going back to square one really!

Nic ill be going for KW V3 on mine as an all round compromise or possibly AST if I can stretch to it, but I want a more track biased set up, not drag like yourself.
Gaz and Avo will both make you what you want are will give you advice on what you want too. Best bet is to call them. Both companies will give you more information on whats best then 99% of the people on here.

They can advise on their products but I very much doubt they will have expertise in chassis tuning for a corsa B. thus your 99% statistic is a bit silly. Also bear in mind it will be sales people on the end of the phone and unlikely to be technical people.
