Think i will be purchasing some coilovers at the end of the month however im not going to spend £500 odd on some GAZ ones! So could people do me a list of a range of prices and quality of coilovers! Was going to get fk street ones (i know they are budget and probably not very comfy) off ebay when they were like £130 but can no longer find them? :/

Thanks

hottuning ones are cheap but depends what you want coilovers for tbh. for 'lowz' get some cheap hottuning ones, if there to improve handling etc and lowering then a set of spax or gaz ones are spot on but arent cheap.

Im genuinely a bit shocked you can get coilovers so cheap now

I remember when anything sub £600 was utter shite on a Corsa

Spax RSX is best kit I've tried so far (I've tried lots of suspension setups), for £200 you're looking at a second hand kit though

tyre profile makes a big difference to ride comfort. if youve got 50 and your mate has 45 then thats part of the reason you found it crashy

I've got spax RSX coilies at the minute, with 185/45/15 tyres, found them to be awesome for me, firm but not harsh, still maintain a comfortable ride with decent handling even at low ride heights.
