Just found this on ebay....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COIL-OVER-COILOVER-VAUXHALL-CORSA-A-B-SUSPENSION_W0QQitemZ160296480218QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item160296480218&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
Seems these are at a reasonable price for a suspension kit with ride height adjustment setup on the rear aswell as the front. Whats your opinions?

May be wrong, but my understanding was that for rear adjustable you need to make/weld in turrets?!
But they are cheap anyway

I wouldn't waste my money on them, but I'd be interested to know what they are like in 6 months time. You do realise that they will be made from real shite and all that bollocks about 'extensive testing' and the use of the word 'precision' should be taken with a pinch of salt.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

u dont need to cut/weld anything, they just replace the original dampers and you do away withs the original springs, i think they would be a good cheap solution if your budget is tight

you cant put all the load of the rear car on the damper mounts! plus how it goingto handle you have gone from a rear beam with flex to the load right on the corners where the wheels are so the handling would be interesting to say the least. it would be posible but you will have to reinforce the damper mounts top and bottom, plus then experiment with arb's and spring rates to get the thing to handle right.

if you are lowering the rear on coilovers, what do you do about the exhaust setup? i have a tigra backbox which is essentially a corsa exhaust but i cant see how you would lower the car without the exhaust clanging away resting on the torsion beam axel...
