Right I have £200 to spend on suspension.

Should I buy some ebay coilovers :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-CORSA-B-ADJUSTABLE-COILOVER-SUSPENSION-KIT-/320528697893?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aa0ffca25

Or

Just buy a lowering kit from somewhere ??
I will have the money about the 24th of this month so there is no rush. Im just unsure what to do, the car will be used on the and will never see the road so there are no isues with rough ride etc etc

Any help or opinions would be great
Cheers

Oh, I already know that, and like I said above the car will only be used for track not on the road so that doesnt present much of a problem .

On a track car you'd be better off with coilies but not that cheap rubbish. Save up and get something half decent instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel.
