go for some springs and good shocks, the problem will be because u r on standard shocks with uprated sprigs, not reccomended, infact the shocks will be fucked by now if youve had it a while, probably why your having probs

i got standard shocks with -35mm pi springs, which isnt really ideal for the XE. Spoke to Joff, he reckons coilovers will give me between a sensible 30mm to 70mm drop, which is fine by me :D

wot suspension have u got on at the moment as if u have got uprated shox, u only need to change the springs for a harder poundage, but coilovers will be better in the long run :)

i was speaking to joff a while ago about them coilovers and he said....

dnt quote me on this coz i deleted the U2U..

that you can play with them from about 20mm - about 80mm :wave:

and the manufactures only give u them drops as a guide

best off U2U'in joff about it tho just ot make sure:):wave:

when it says drop 55-75mm, does that mean the max drop, or that there is 20mm to play with between max and min? Mine is lowered 35mm at the moment and is low enough, i dont wanna go any lower as highest possible. Hope that makes sense!

I need to get a new setup on my corsa asap cos i'm having the C20XE in at the moment, and its too low to drive. :lol: What would you recommend? Im thinking around the £400 mark, but need some opinions. I was recommended the FK coilovers, but i cant afford £750 on suspension!
