£319.
Worth the money? I dont want a harsh ride like you get from GMAX lowering kits, it'll be a Corsa B 1.28v on 15x7" Pro Race 1.2's.
Are those HighSport Coilovers any good? Recommendations?

If you hae the right poundage springs on your coilovers the ride won't be harsh. I bet 99% of people on here have the wrong ones.
I bought some AVO's that were ment for a Valver Nov, and the springs were around 100lb too soft.
Too soft springs = coilbound, which makes for a super harsh ride. I'll be putting near on 300lb springs on my Corsa. Mates Astra has some around that poundage and the ride is so smooth compared to mine over bumps.
So check what springs are on the coilovers before you buy. Obviously you don't have as much weight over the front end as mine, so you won't need springs as high as me.

i find the koni's slightly harder that the highsports but in a positive way... much nice to drive...
my konis are set to 3/4 hardness...
gmax... i'd imagine are like the cheap bilstein kit i have in the girlfriends tigra... car handles like its on rails but fook me is it extremely rough and boing! boing! boing! bouncy
