personally never had any problems with g-max. served me well in the past and will do me for the XE until i can get some money together for some coilovers

suppose i only really want the weight to be held at the front end due to the xe

prices sound ok. i wouldnt bother with rear coilovers as they really require turrets at the rear to be safe.

right had a quick look on ebay there are fk`s for £340.00 koni`s £160 some other brand coilovers for £239.00

do i want rear suspension to be coil over aswell as these kits dont look like they are

sorry for a the questions but i suppose this is the help and advice zone

how much should i be paying for coil overs fk

my personal choice would be FKs for budget coilovers, courtenay matched kit (uprated springs and billie dampers) if i was keeping std style spring and shock.

money no object, leda/proflex, but really not necessary

Bit baffle`d now g-max are basically bog std and not really whats needed Pi are not to be touched

what do poeple get when they have their corsas converted i have seen some where that does uprated springs and shocks especially for xe`d corsa`s

i may aswell do the full lot if i am changing it Any more suggestions or advice

g max doesnt count as suspension Imo. id far rather have a decent set of oe gas dampers like kyb and some springs than that shite.

I have personal issues with spax, Im they are too hard and the damping rates arent correct.

Im running billie cups and courtenay spriings which are awesome, the quality is excellent, but they really need revalved to be a perfect match to the springs.

FK coilovers are popular and feel nice from the passenger seat, but ive never yet driven a car with them.

i can afford what ever is best for ma car G-Max is just a brand i have been directed towards i dont want to have to mess with adjustables but do want some quality shocks n springs what other decent brands are out there

if you get bigger wheels you'll want to lower it more to keep the ride height low.

-20mm on 17's would look piss poor above anything else, and certainly not help the handling.

-40mm on 15's is a good bet.
gmax shocks will do the job, but bear in mind they are 'budget'
if that's what you can afford then get them, they'll be better than standard ones, but if you want it to be strong and handle well get something a little more robust with adjustment.

whats suspension should i be using

gmax will go pop i'd imagine

Got an xe corsa am thinkin of lowering on g-max setup not sure whether to go 40 on 15`s or 20 on 17`s

any pics help n advice much needed
