What coilovers would people recommend for day to day use which are not harsh or bone shaking?

Was thinking Spax RSX (adjustable dampening ones)

Something Bilstein probably. Dont know what the kw range is like for Corsas.

Remeber you get wht you pay for and the best thing about buying something like the Bilsteins someone will always buy them off you at a later date.

Do Eibach do Corsa stuff? My mate had them in his Ibiza lowered about 60mm and it used to take pot holes and rough road brilliantly.

Had a Bilstien b10 kit aout 5-6 months ago and nothing but bother with the rear shocks making a knocking/rattle noise over bumps.Had the rear shocks replaced 3 times and so sent the whole kit back.

Must say the car handled amazing and was firmer that other cheap setups iv had in the past.


Would like some front & rear adjustable ones if possible.

wietec/ap/kw all from same factory and my wietecs are really good on the golf, if i bought coilys again for a road car id have got the weitec TX with damping adjustment or top of the range KW's

have BC's on the impreza, theyve got LOADS of adjustment on them but theyre on the track springs so probs no good on the road

FK highsports are a no no, they are rock solid.

Spax RSX were alright and not too hard but GAZ is cheaper and I rather go with that.

Call GAZ and tell them what you want, I'm sure they'll have something available for you

Depends on your wheels, Your spring lenghs, Your coilovers, and how low your running.

So trial and error.
