Right, i need help..........

At the moment my wee corsa is down 60 on a full Gmax kit, and 16's. The problem is that my car doesn't seem to handle well in the wet (tyres aren't the problem) and even in the dry it still rolls a bit.

so here it is....... i've got myself a full set of AVO adjustable dampers but just need to know what springs to match them with. must be -60 or lower.

this is where you lot help me out...... please let me know of your suggestions.

Cheers, Greg

Bad handeling in the wet is because your suspension is TOO hard. If you want handeling go upto 40mm. If you want handeling down 60mm coilovers is the way... You NEED the ability of suspension travel for good road holding, bottomed out in bumpstops isnt exactly 'travel'.

What's your opinion of the Gmax kit? I was thinking about it myslef. How much did it cost to fit, or did you do it yourself?
