Hi All

Just looking for abit on advice on coilovers. I know the topic has been done to death but I have a 1.2 corsa I use everyday, not sure if I'll have it much longer, maybe another year so dont want to spead loads but need it to be drivable so I can sell it. It has Spax coilovers which are knackered and I doubt would be worth getting refurbed as they are totally seized, in all forms of adjustment..
I found a set of these FK AK coilovers and I reckon I could get them cheap, maybe £100 or so new, fronts only.. Are they worth getting? They are only height adjustable so I'm looking for advice from people who have them or been in a car with them what the ride is like, it is bouncy?

Any advice would be appreciated unless your going to say save up and get real coilovers..

Decent 2nd hand springs and dampers I'd go for

You get what you pay for with suspension, so the chances are the ride quality will be shit on cheap coilovers

I had brand new fk coilies on my old corsa they were suprisingly comfy for the price and dropped quite low aswell, so I would recommend them.
