Coilovers from Ebay

Post by jayybull »

i noticed a few coilovers from ebay ranging from around 174-180 i was wonder would this be suitable for a c20xe conversion, as im looking at getting some for now as i doin the bodywork first then the engine after winter but i dnt want to spend my xmas money on suspension that would be on the car for long.

i'm running Koni sport (yellow) (adjustable) on my c20xe conversion, realy noticed the difference.
I had a lot of other setups but the koni's realy do the job right.

hope you find something.

fk's are good mate, thats what im running. but when i had fk coilovers i had problems with the tyres rubbinng and the coilovers them selves.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

yea they do run close, check out my project thread for clearance photos, you have to run 195 45 15 tyres because if you run 195 50 the tyres bulge out and rub on the coilovers.
TURBO LAG IS JUST FOREPLAY ;)
