Recommend Suspension Kits

[kimma07]

Hi,

Putting some 15 inch wheels on my corsa b, don't want no cheap kit for £100 as I've done that before and they weren't the best.

So far I've found some Bilstein B10 kit for £480 which is quite expensive.

Theres a Koni STR.T thats half the price but only lowers 35mm and thought that might still look tractorish.

A lot of kits seem to only lower 30-40mm the decent ones, where as the B10 lowers 55mm which be fine.

If anyone could recommend any that lower 50-60mm be a big help.

cheers

Hi and welcome buddy what's your budget

[kimma07]

Well I wouldn't want to spend anymore than the £480 on b10s.

konis would of been better at half the price.

just looking to do cheap as possible for a reputable brand.

thanks

Some sell second pairs on other forums

I'll have to have a look around, would 35mm be too high? Not seen one that height thats all.

thanks for your help.

Would go for forty but they look better at 60mm but i would just look at adjustables and no probs mate anything else ya need just ask

JOM are a good brand and cost around the 200 mark and are a good fim ride till 60-70 mill they go to 100 but after 70 they dont fell as good

Pro sport goes to 60mil and is another good budget brand

I have jom on the front down to 100mm were fine with cav slabs but since got the wider wheels not stiff enough which is why I had to get gaz for the rear as the rear springs and shocks werent good enough to much movement so made scrub.

So if you getting wheels that will tuck in arches jom are fine even lowered 100mm I found

Id go jom then, what.i said is just what i heard from word of mouth

[kimma07]

Do jom do shocks or just coilovers? Ones ive seen on the net so far are coilovers that lower 30-60mm or something.

Cheers

Jom do coilovers for front and spring and shock with adjuster cups for rear

Venomsport sell for 162 and says lowers up to 100mm I think but onew on ebay said back only lower 30mm even though same kit, strange.

[johnny]

The ebay seller would just be selling different springs id say

[kimma07]

Its a choice between koni str.t and jom coilovers, both similar priced. Heard the konis are quite bog standard considering their konis so probably not much difference in build quality.

would of had the b10s but would cost 615 by time fitted them and thats crazy money considering I didnt pay much more than that for the whole car, plus my partner would go mad.

just spent 260 on alloys, £200 gonna be on shocks plus £140 labour. £250 to get my bumpers resprayed.

did want a full respray but just the money cos was quoted 800-1000 which ain't bad but still a lot considering the rest of the stuff ive bought and my partner doesnt get why I wanna spend all this money on a 14 year old car but this is my 4th corsa b and i never get tired.

Id go jom or prosport on a budget, but i definitly wouldnt buy the fks from venom, dont rate fks atall
