gaz are good, but far from the best, i have driven two corsa's with gaz and they bounce all over the shot, didnt say anything about handling...

they must have either been broken or fitted wrong then, no suspension should 'bounce' as such.

You've obviously drove the ones that wern't set up properly  Mine handles outstandingly well and will recommend GAZ to anyone.

Bilstien Yellows...
Not another fixed suspension unit that'll match the handling on a corsa.

funny that because both kits were new, fiitted by profensionals, and i have no need to lie "they bounce like a yo-yo" and yes they do haddle well, but no better than my so called "shit fk's"

If they bounce its most likely because they werent set up properly or they were riding on the bump stops  only problem i have is my bump stops (didnt cut enough off) so will be getting that sorted and shall be sorted

Cheers for the opinions and info lads. Think i'm gonna either go for GAZ coilover set up from dave A or a fixed height Koni set up. Koni is about £100 cheaper and should still be a good improvement over my current Gmax set up, which is quite shit tbh.

DON'T GO KONI!!!
Go Bilstein, FAR FAR better suspension unit. Konis are far too hard.
For a FIXED rate suspension, you won't get better than the billy yellows.

agree 100% with VXR. Bilstein stuff is far far better than koni in every way. we sell 10-15 bilstein kits a week and have always been amazed with every aspect of them.
having 'bouncy' suspension with gaz coilovers is common and as Olsrey said it will be the bumpstops. they come with a full length bumpstop that should be cut to suit the desired final ride height, most ignore this and then complain that they have bouncy suspension

bacause if you are only lowering 30mm you need a longer bumpstop than if you are lowering 80mm.
Ring Gaz, ask them.
