ride quality is average. it aint boucy and it aint that hard. but it still handles really well. im guessin its somethin to do with the front being much lower than the rear giving it that angled down stance. i like it, looks mean (like in my cartoon sig)

ran outta dosh wen it came to shocks they are only Gmax. not the best but they are ok. i do plan on upgrading to bilstein shocks or konis.

I'd pay a bit more and get better than Apex. Good as a budget set up but not very good all round. You do get what you pay for really. I believe Steinmetz use Eibach springs on their suspension, cant be bad :thumbs:

are eibach -50mm springs true to the drop they give?

i was looking in someones garage that has em ( red corsa on 17s and 4 tailpipes) and it doesn't look any lower than my old suspension (40mm)

i was gonna get the apex nath as well, but decided against it :(

Wish i could change my suspension :(

I want Koni's with Eibach -50 springs. APEX is wank! Too hard and too bumpy!

ah cheers for the help every1

i've just been looking at pvd, koni with eibach -50 springs seems like a good allround round deal to me - nice low stance and decent handling right :)


joff your at pvd aren't you? whats the koni kit with springs all about - i thought koni didn't make springs :boggle:

Bilsteins (Sprintline kit) will also be a very hard ride.

Get Bilsteins or like Nath's said, Koni's and fit something like Eibach springs.

how much are a set of 4 blistien dampers? and where can i get em from?

not sure about konis, i 've read that even on their softest setting they're are still quite hard :( although i don't know if thats a bad thing tbh - i don't want it making my interior rattle as it hits a bump...

Bilstien are suposed to be good for Corsa's, got the dampers on the rear of my car and it hold well!:thumbs:

Koni's with eibach springs is supposed to be good

im not interested in how low it is, 35mm good enough for me :)

i want to keep some form of ride quality, so i was thinking eibachs with eibach dampers.

n e other suggestions?
