Just wondered what people's opinions where on different coilover suspension setups that are about?

I personnaly have heard good things of the Spax RSX kit, as well as Leda (http://www.leda.com) - but the price put me off leda!

Seen some tasty looking FK Coilovers on a guys corsa on here as well, but there are so many companies out there!

Just wanted opinions! Thanks

i have the spax rsx kit, would recommend it.

the only first hand experience that i have had of fk is westsidecorsa's 60/40 kit where the front shocks went after about 10 months. but that was the shock and spring kit, not coilovers.

your right.

everytime i go to the garage to do it ... i start it get bored/lazy and dot adjust it properly

the reson i say its dificult to do the camber is that u cant really set the camber with the wheel on and weight on the car....

its a matter of guessing the cmaber sticking the wheel on and then mesureing it with the machine... then if its not right wheel has to come off gueess again etc.....

i get bored

Cheers
