do they have to be off car to do this?

i got the kit and changed the springs to eibachs - 30mm. i would recommend runnning them on lowest settings especially the backs otherwise it will bounce alot on bumpy roads. mine still handle well on lowest front and back without losing too much comfort value (:P old fart eh)
i also chopped a bit off the koni supplied rear bump stops to give the piston more travel.

With Koni's they handle VERY well.

The Nova will have the same set-up as my old Corsa.

Anyone that had been out/driven that can vouch for it.

Out handled lowered Saxos.

the rears have to be taken off the car to adjust them.

When the suspension is bolted in, there is a small adjuster at the top. You use the tool with the kit to turn it left or right to make the suspension harder-softer.

they r on car adjsutable my one's. u got a little knob on top of suspension struct....

it says rear r adjustable too, but i can't see how :boggle:

They are adjustable at the top, but just the front.

You should have a tool in the kit so you can adjust the ride quality - Harder - Softer.

thought they'd be the same.

Never heard of the springs b4 tho :boggle: ROC??

r they they adjustables?


Ojc

posted on 3rd Mar 04 at 12:16

Oh, and its a bit of pick & mix when it comes to springs with the Koni kits.


Ojc

posted on 3rd Mar 04 at 12:13

They are identical.

I'm ordering mine on pay day, just the shocks. £90 for the front, £51 for the rears and I'm using 35-40mm Eibach springs (£118) all round.

Bargain for £259 ;) :D

Just wanna check with u all, i'm sure everything is fine tho.

check out the serial no. on boxes and checked em on Koni site and front suspension is the right one, but rear is for Nova according to Koni site.

I know it will fit, well i hope it does, there ain't much difference in cars.

just wondered why the site would have different no. for corsa one :boggle:

Not sure what make springs r? box says ROC (i think) low rider made in Sweden.....

Canny wait man, aye:thumbs:
