rah, i like the sound of "on car adjustable" so all i hav to do is open the bonnet and turn it to make stiffer or softer! coudnt be easier!
so the yellow kit it is then:)
so how much will it cost roughly for a Koni 60mm kit for a Gsi??

Thanks :wave:

i've got the red kit, and to adjust it, i need to jack up the car, remove a bolt and turn it. Not too much bother, well love em, top class kit.

yeah the yellow kit is on car adjustable, just turn a knob under the bonnet, takes all of 3 seconds to do :D

The main difference between adj and non adj shocks is u get to choose how soft or stiff u want to go.
If u dont want it stiff then the non adj would be ok.
If u want it stiff (better handling IMO) then get the adj.
If u want to switch between the 2 quickly then pick the yellow adj.
Hope this helps

Ive got the Koni red kit (-40mm) on my sxi, handles like its on rails.
The red kits about 100 quid cheaper than the yellow on car adjustables, only difference is u have to strip them off the car to adjust them.
Top quality kit tho.

It seems a bit lower than 40mm, maybe 45-48mm.

oh rite i get it,so if its not for the Gsi it will lower after deducting the standard 15mm it has already,BUT does this apply if im getting a Full suspension Kit???
is Koni available in a 50mm kit for the Gsi??
otherwise i jus get a 60mm kit n go extra slow over the speed bumps!
wats main difference between adjustable and fixed shocks tho?
will it b worth the extra money and going for the adjustable?

Thans for the info guys, really helpfull :thumbs:

try and get a kit that is for the GSI & not just std corsa's

otherwise a 40mm kit will only lower ur car and extra 25mm as its already 15mm lower than standard
