can you get uprated front springs on the highsports as i would probably put 2l ones on if possible as the normal petrol ones are too soft for the td.

I would personally go for Highsport

is it worth spending the extra £200 for the konig's or not really for road use?

There's no way to judge which of the two will give better "handling".

The Koni's will probably be stiffer and give a harsher ride, but the FK Highsport should be more controlled.

If you're on a super smooth track then I'd say Koni's, but on a road then you need all the control you can get.

I've got Bilsteins and they're rock solid - the car twitches and skips all over the road, so it's hardly ideal.

I bought the FK's for my Corsa- Very happy. Only buying coilovers means u can expect some 'bounce' but on 60/40 mine rides lovely!!!

ok i want an honest reply from you guys, which would handle better:

fk highsport coilovers
or
koni yellows with apex 60mm springs.

No need to call...

Height adjustment on the rears for the Nova/Corsa B kits (and some others) is carried out by having an adjustable platform underneath the pigtail spring on the rear.

When the coil is wound in, the spring is compressed, thus acheiving different ride heights.

I want to get some coilovers but ive just got 1 question:

:How do the rears adjust in height because ive read on here that the rear isnt a coilover but is just a damper and spring????????? :boggle:
