If anyone is running these and has them wound either all the way down, or pretty close to it.
Coilover link
Do they handle well?
Does get really choppy over shit quality roads?
And finally do you think they are a genuine upgrade or, just cheap knock off shit?
cheers

This.
He asked for an opinion on the coilovers though, not for what you think of his car.
I have Tuningart coilovers on my E36. They work surprisingly well and are pretty comfortable tbh. Not sure what they will be like a a small hatch like a Corsa though?!

Well anyone can just grab a mid project picture that makes the car look shit.
And yes i was at players So you dont need to dare me to do anything mate, hence sticker and nope got loads of love seen as the people at players appreciate originality and legitimacy. I wouldnt expect someone like you to understand.
and to the two people that actually commented on the fucking question:

Its quite amazing that someone can make a set of coilover suspension, sell and deliver it to a car parts seller, who then sell it and add vat and for £159 delivered and still make it worth their while.

There was a deal on FK's website the other day and they were selling shocks for like £3 each.

Zee problem with cheap coilovers is they aren't designed for specific models, all they are is a damper and spring with the right fitments.
So it's a gamble if they will do a decent job or not, where as more expensive ones will be designed with the cars weight and power in mind.
