Right guys and girls my suspension needs stiffemning up big time.
at the moment it has spax dampers and spax lowering springs which are too low, however i want it stiffer as well.
Car had on when i got it corsa gsi dampers with g max springs which was great height wise but kept getting lift off oversteer it just kept bounceing all the time.
thats why it has the psax setup which is now too low any ideas as to what i should get 2nd hand or new???
btw it has gaz shocks for rear and lowering springs just needs fitting rear at the moment are gsi dampers and lowering springs.

Dont just buy some generic rubbish. Your going to need the correct poundage springs for the V6 corsa.

if you want decent suspension it wont be cheap..
if you want your corsa to handle, you have to spend the money tbh

well it's gonna be soft with any suspenson, unless it's a higher poundage, which is what you need, and it's gonna cost a bit

you cant make a 1.4 handle good on cheap stuff so you have no chance with a v6. daveA does the bilstein stuff for 320 and he can sort you out with the correct springs for the front as well i think its about 30 quid extra. i have them on my 1.4 and my mate on his 2.0 and they both handle ace.

i say buy the bilstein set up and then sell your spax set up, you should get around £200 back for the spax if they are coilovers
so roughly you would only be paying 150quid and you will have a tailormade suspension set up that is 100% correct for your car
