Ok, no slagging off my choice please. I just need a kit with a fair price on my otherwise standard '99,T, 1.4 16v Sport. I've had the car since nearly new, and it was crap to start with, so 65,000 miles later it's pretty awful. Anything will improve it.
BUT! Why can't the websites just say: '93-00 Corsa Sport 1.4 16v reqs P/No xxxxxx?
Does anyone know which p/n I need?

Any help greatly appreciated

Tony

lowering springs- S026020 35mm drop

Springs + Dampers- V7770 35mm drop

Springs + Adj Dampers- TAP078 35mm drop

Coilovers- RSX543 50-80mm drop on front, 60mm rear.

They will all bolt to the car but they have different springs, the heavier the car the harder the springs, hence the different part numbers.

Thanks for the help.
I know eibach are miles better, but since we bought the Golf, the thing does barely 4000 miles per year. Hardly worth it......unless they are only a few quid extra.

Eeeek, just looked at the price.
Just can't warrant that.
