Yeh 300lb are very stiff. I have 280lb on mine with 2L and F28 and it's spot on

Dont bother with the Courtenay ones unless you want to go off road.

Get GAZ coilovers. They come with 300lb as standard and probably the best coilovers for Corsas for under £500.

I could be wrong.

Coilover springs are easy to change anyway and only cost a tenner/15 quid each.

Edit: just realised that you're ronnie's owner, ive read your progress thread on mig, awesome car, shame its dead now.

Depends how much you want to spend, coilovers ideally otherwise courtenay springs are spot on for XE/LET conversions

300lb springs are far too stiff for road use , you will just get major understeer.
