Morning all,
Recently aquired some Tuningart Coilovers for my Corsa B, was wondering if anyone had a picture of the build up of the coilovers prior to fitting?
Looking on the interweb, it would seem everyone does it different, after trying to a few different ways, using various parts of the old suspenion, the top mounts, the bearing, etc. the lads were very confused as to what the arrangement is, in the end to get the car sat as low as possible, we had to leave the bearings out.
Any help/pictures would be muchly apreciated

Thank you Haimsey, we tried setting them up with everything you have, but ended up with the car sitting stupidly high, however we thought this was how it should look.

Actually dude, this has confused us even more! lol.
In your first 2 pictures, there no bearings. Then in the other 2 pictures the bearing is? lol. Did you leave them in or not when you fitted them mate?

Its been a while since they were built  I cant remember, all i remember is how the bits were set on the rug is how they went on.
I dont have helper springs in though. They were removed and used as pen pots

Use the bearings, but dont need to use the spring cup just use the cone one on the coilovers.
