mate of mine just got a b10 kit with uprated front springs for his 2.0 and its a fine piece of kit. 50/40 mm but it looks lower than that on the back. not really had much chance to give it some abuse as the gearbox has just died but they feel nice a firm but not a harsh ride. cant get pics of how it sits as its in pieces.

Exceptional kit but a waste on any car with a flawed chasis!
Prolly get not much different results from a set of Gaz or Koni's tbh
Great set up for a real track car...road car or shopping trolley no I would say

the piston isnt really any thicker, it seems its thicker due to the fact that the damper is inverted.
the B10 kit is the best budget kit available, we stock them for the corsa and have sold loads of kits on here and always had good reviews on them. we also do a b10 kit with springs to suit a c20xe corsa

Clio is far from fancy
I do love Corsa's as they are cheap good fun, but as soon as you start bolting on fancy suspension kits etc you are not getting value for money IMO as you could get the same results with a lesser kit...then the whole cheap and fun ideals are gone which quite frankly is the only thing Corsa's have going for them!
Just think the money could be spent else where such as braking and tuning as well as suspension.
Oh and I do not under any circumstance want to own another 20XE Corsa however much fun it was back in the day
