Wouldnt buy cheap coilovers, id go for Gaz or Spax, but ive heard spax have best ride. and as for the brakes it depends on what size of wheels you have, but obviously the bigger the brakes the better

If you just want it low, go for a set of jom's or something else in the cheaper range... if you want it for handling id say spax or Gaz..
Brakes id say 256mm as most will tell you the v6 288mm's will give you a soft pedal feel. ive always found the 256 to be the best of the two..
what are you doing to the inlet? wouldnt of thought a catch tank to be needed tbh..
OH AND PLEASE TURN CAPSLOCK OFF... WE ARE ABLE TO READ  LOL

You've heard wrong then my friend, I've fitted about 8 sets to mates Corsa, Tigra and even a golf... Fitment is spot on, personally I find the ride a little bouncy. But apart from that good kit for the money

That's not always the case mate,think it might just be pot luck,I fitted a set of fk's to my Corsa,and with 55 profile tyres they touched,changed to 45s and they clear them
