how? they work the same way as springs and dampers but just do it in one unit instead of being seperate

can adjust the spring cup on other coilovers which are seperate spring and damper on back. Although when really low the spring comes loose so would be easier when a full coilover body i guess. But i mean it wont make much difference to the handling to have it as a full coilover body cos of the beam. With the rear as full one body does it reduce the clearance at the back?

mine are et25 8j but have some et39 i think 16" 6.5 vauxhall steelies to go on but are closer to the damper just thinking if i'd have room for rear full coilovers and also any room to add any camber on the rear? any info on how to do that

only way to add camber on the rear is to space the bottom of the hub out, is it the coil over conversion kits you are looking at on rd? as you can get proper ones for corsas

just noticed the gaz and avo sets come with full coilovers on the rear unlike the fk highsports i currently use. And spacing the bottom out does that not cause bit of a weak join at the top? And seems like it would bring the bottom out but top wouldn't change much, need the top to come in when i widen the steelies else they wont fit i dont think
