same as the cheaper fk ones, they will be a firm ride, but lower on a budget + 2 year warranty so just cant grumble

I want the Bilstein B10 fixed kit but there nearly £400.

They are suppose to be the best fixed suspension set up.

It's an excellent setup, im using them, wait till you compare them to "uprated" shocks, i put them next to my gmaxs, made them look pencil thin, made stanard ones look like they would bend!

mine are B12 sorry, i got mine on here actually, someone had just fitted them, crashed the corsa..sold the shiit

shit pic :

Well on the gmax's it was boaty, dodgy, back end was dodgy, with them fitted, it goes round corners.

Bought my front end back up also, it didn't mind the weight up front.

Ride Quality is pretty good actually, comfy if "crusing" and fine when booting it to fuck

I think they depend on what spring setup you give it also though!

Would be The b10 front springs & shocks and -90mm rear springs with the b10 rear shocks.

personally wouldn't put springs that low onto them, i think that'll be a bad setup :/

only IMO, i think it'll be too low for the shocks to do a good job, if you want it to handle i'd use higher springs, same shocks. IF you want it to look low, get any shocks, and springs, cause it'll be harsh and firm still i'd imagine!

na...best kit you can get is the b12 bud. thats as a package from bilstein.

the B8 shocks mixed with wither bilstein's own 50mm spring kit, or eibach sprintline kit is probs the best setup you can get for handling.

Sorry to hijack the thread but how would these bilsteins compare to the likes of gaz coilovers, particularly on a 2.0 corsa?
