Is it worth buying some new front + rear coilovers or buy a second hand set?

Does anyone have a set for sale? :)

Just depends how much your willing to spend, a good second hand set is usually more than good enough, but tbf the cheap sets of eBay are usually pretty good, well that's what I running on mine anyway.

front and rear OMP strut braces make a HELL of a difference!! and if you can find one cheap or even brand new a white line rear anti roll bar also makes a hell of a difference, thats about it then for handling, oh make sure you have a front anti roll bar as not all corsa's had one. and low profile tyres and see if your rear beam has a torsion bar running up the centre of it as again not all corsa's had them, and DECENT tyres like toyos yoko's etc make a difference on amounts of grip aswell. apart from all that there isnt alot else you can do, a front lower brace is no good as sits to low,
