if wheels are the right offset then spacers will not be needed :)

as said, get the best u can afford. Ive got FK's on mine n the ride quality is fine :)

Get rid of 17's and get some nice lightweight 15's or 16's and drop it 60mm on FK coilovers :)

ive looked up some FK coilovers for corsa B,
adjustable lowering of between 40-80mm

the non damping-adjustable ones are £500

will spacers need to be used?? or do they go straight on no fuss?
will 17s be ok with them?

is the height adjustble feature the only difference between coilovers and normal suspension kits??

i'm running koni's with courtenay 2.0l springs on the front and eibach -30mm rears. ride is ok if a little bumpy, better with the 2.0l springs on now.
will probably change to fk highsports in the future though as my motor is sitting fairly high.

go for fk's if you can afford em.

if u can afford the coilovers get them, however a kit of lowering and higher poundage springs and shortened dampers will be sufficient
