Loving the Coil overs - only thing is ive noticed there is a "creak" sometimes at the back - but its not consistant with hitting bumps etc....

Everything appears tight and working properly - im thinking it could be the handbrake perhaps.

little unsure - anyone shed anylight? Similar experiences?

Aren't AVOs coil-over struts at the rear aswell as fronts on corsa's? If they are then the spring cant really be sitting wrongly. I've heard the struts are very tight to the rear bodywork with AVO's, could be rubbing that every now and then??
