Car bodykit is very low...

Hey all, currently have the Furious 2 Bodykit on my corsa. Now i am curently on Apex suspension lowered 40mm.

I am after coilovers so i can adjust the ride height, as i am having a lot of trouble getting over big speed bumps and going down steep gradients. The front bumper is suffering.

Which is the best kit to go for at a reasonable price do you all think?

Cheers
Ben

lower kits, springs to coilovers where not made or designed to go on cars with bodykits.

i have fk\'s cant say anything bad. but been told avo are the ones to go for.

Forgot to say, there is a group buy on corsasport for fk\'s though. Would work out cheaper.

Have been reading about AVO, question is can i raise the front of the car with the coilovers? Also same question about the FK\'s

Will take a wee while to do it
Not ideal if your wanting to raise it just to go over bumps etc
Coilovers are adjustable so u can get it to a ride height u like and to sit right by the arch or where u like

How high/low can i go with AVO?

Not sure, mine are down about 50mm. But were on the car when I got them so not sure the minimum and maximum on them

Coilovers aren\'t the answer. Yes you can raise them/lower them but you\'ll be jacking the car up, taking the wheel off each time and then messing about with C-spanners.

You either need a rethink on your bodykit, fit bigger wheels or get airbag suspension.

Yeah sorry - there were two threads and that had the fewer replies.
