FK have a Coilover kit for Corsa's with 2l conversion. Would this be a uprated spring poundage and shocks to match? Any other kits or coilover sets people would recommend for Corsa B's with 2l engines? or any feedback on FK?

Not too sure why they have different weights on a 2ltr opposed to a standard engine, i thought coilovers were designed to deal with everything. Not an area of expertise for me.
However drawing from feedback from other FK users they can be quite a mixed bag. The CCUK people swear by FK's but do tend to have "seizing" issues of not well protected but alot of the AOC people will warn to stay away from FK as they are a "budget" brand.
I guess it depends on how much you want to spend and whether you plan on changing the heights easily and often or rarely and with difficulty.

I have driven a 2l corsa with an FK kit on designed for the Xe conversion
I wasnt impressed. reminded me of when my dampers were knackered on my Xr2i back in the 90's.

I've got the FK silverline kit, and replaced the FK springs with 300lb jobbies  from Chris Astley. It certainly doesn't drive like an xr2i with knackered shocks. it's lurvly
