these will be fine...but you will more than likely need spacers for the front wheels as the spax kits have a tendancy to rub at about 60mm on the front. My GSi had them on it when i got it from paul, and he had needed to put the 3mm spacers on them to clear the tyre from the strut.

However, you will get the required results from them...they are a reasonable quality kit.

you would be better with these though! :)

i've got spax coilovers on my 1.6 sport, and they are so worth it if you have the money. i live up in aberdeenshire scotland, there are plenty back roads for midnight rallys, and the coilovers make the corsa handle....basically not like a corsa. my car handles awesomely now, such a difference. so if you can afford it, go for it
