Hi,
I'm after a new suspension setup.
Something pretty decent.
I'd like to know peoples experiences with corsa with c20xe's. I'm not after a budget road kit, so not really interested in FK etc
Two kits i'm considering at the moment are LEDA and Harry Hockley Bilstein's
Anyone got either fitted? (nova owners?)
The LEDA's come in at about 1k i think, the HH's i cant remember... the fronts are 350 or so.... (each?/two?)
Been recommended 350lb springs up front.... any info on the rears?
The car will be used for trackdays, hill climb and sprints.... no gravel/forest etc
Incidently - AVO coilovers will be coming off if anyone wants em

ask timrud abotu spring rates, he seems to have got it spot on.
As for damper units, leda's or gaz, the HH ones seem to be more gravel orientated, than tarmac.

Adam_B has just done a track day and he said his car was handling well, drifting but nothing to much over.
Also Lisa's corsa does track days and her hubby said he could not get the back end out at all it was just sticking everywhere,
maybe worth asking them mate

from what ive heard and speaking to the lads at leda, there kits, and abilty to sort springs rates out are spot on, really are the only people id consider adam from the type of use your cars gets
also thought about having it corner weighted

its out of balace at the mo.... by a lot
The tail feels sooo light its quite un nerving...
The rear brake bias needs addressed.
The rear suspension at the mo is..... for want of a better word, shite!
The weight distbution is a bit cack  Will move battery to rear to try and help that out :S
LEDA are mucho expensivo though
