I've said spax, but only because of the major problems i had with FK, never used the RSX kits.
Gaz are the best

RSX is a quality piece of kit
just watch out for the bumpstops though, they dont last long! Oh and make sure you put some under-seal on the rear adjusters & front ones too, as they will seize/rust very quickly without

oh but 1 thing...
RSX is only front coilovers & rear spring/shock...
so rear is always down 60mm, but front is adjustable

i thought that the rear was damper adjustable but not height adjustable, is that right.

Tell us what you want a suspension kit for, how you drive, what kind of roads you go on and how tolerant you are to harsh suspension.

I ruled the Spax out straight away.
No rear height adjust meant i wouldnt have them.

One thing that people MUST remember that a coilover unit WILL not make hardly any difference to bump scrub. I.E a coilover set at 30mm will usually scrub just the same as a spring drop 60mm over BIG bumps...
Coilovers do not make a difference to where a car bottoms out over bumps so if your wanting a drop of 60mm on the rear and thinking ohh no coilovers are better than 60mm drop spax then dont - they will both scrub virtually the same.
Ive ran the RSX kit for 12 months, found them to be pretty good but one thing ive never been happy about with Spax is corrosion resistance, their powdercoat always bubbles after a couple of months...

I drive pretty quick most of the time and although my car is pretty fast the one thing it lacks on(as with all standard corsa's, is the suspension) so i'm after summat that'll be good performance, i don't mind the ride being harsh but i don't want it to be too daft as in hit a grid and have no teeth left lol.
