Yeah - Billie dampers are good but Terra springs are sh1te - I had both my front springs crack on me after 18 months use. Eibach springs are worth considering and when I dropped them in, the ride quality and handling was significantly improved. | |

That suspension setup is far from ideal. The dampers are OE spec - good quality units, but not actually uprated, and the springs are Terra - nothing special and not a high enough poundage. | |

yes the kit comes with new hubs, and you do need some water pipes from the 2.0 | |

The Corsa shell is quite solid and well up to the job of coping with the 2.0 unit. | |
