depends how much you want to spend
im just askin if this is a good price for what these are or can i get better quality ones for a lil bit more?
get the hot tuning ones
£200 delivered
do none of the corsa c kits come with actual coilovers on the rear? any ive seen have the standard setup of spring platform and seperate shock.

I know what you're getting at, but no, because it's a bar at the back. **** rear suspension really

is anybody else getting tired of these coilover threads, seem to be a new one every day
Cheap coilovers FTL
save your money and get some decent ones KW or Koni's are the only ones you should be looking at, FK's are 'ok' on a budget but are fairly gash IMO i dread to imagine how crap these hottuning ones are

what could be crap about them?
ive got them and they seem fine to me... only a track-bred racer that has expert knowledge on car handling would tell the difference between hottuning coilies and the top of the range ones :shrug:

iv not got track bred racer knowledge, and i can tell the difference between my FK's and Mike (on here) Koni's
so much nicer ride and they are so much better put together
give it 6 months mate, see if they have seized ;) and the fact the spring has to go upsidedown on them isnt a great start for me
trust me come have a ride in mine and tell me you cant feel the difference even between FK's and Hottunning ones,
oh and things that cheap are usually too good to be true
true.. i suppose only time will tell lol.
but tbh they are still worth the money.. even if a lot more maintenance is needed to cure the seizing :/

if your buying "decent" coilovers then uprating anti roll bars, and poly bushes should be used as well as coilovers put added stress on other suspension components.
ajustable shocks and decent springs would be the best option for a road car.

The ride in the car with adjustable dampers will obviously be better and more comfortable on normal roads, which compared to fixed dampers on the coilovers. The FK's are TUV approved which is a higher standard than the British equivalent so build quality wise i cant see them being much different.
coilovers are good for the look, but you sacrafice ride quality and you'll hear every loose panel there is on your car on bumpy roads lol.
im after some koni ajustables, but need to find out whats the max weight they can take.
