You cant go far wrong with a set of Eibach springs thay come in 30 or 50 mm drop around the £130-140 mark tho

I wouldnt buy apex. I would get adjustable AGX shocks and springs of my choice. details on the shocks can be found here:

http://www.kybsport.com/agx.html

and bought from here:

http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/kyb_agx_display.php?txtmodel=Corsa&Submit=Next&txtmake=Vauxhall

I have bought and fitted these to a customers car and I was pleasantly suprised that they are decent quality, comfortable and handled well. much better than any other budget kit I have tried. The kit they replaced was a gmax kit and the difference was massive. the top adjustment actually makes a real noticeable difference.

then get some decent springs and you will have a decent adjustable kit for under £300 that will be loads better than any off the shelf budget kit

You seem to be the type of bloke that will take his time and buy the best he can, im the type of bloke who will settle for something good but not great and doesnt have to fanny about getting it

you seem like the kind of bloke that will buy rubbish suspension and bounce off a corner into a hedge. I am the type that will buy decent stuff and glide round the same corner with ease.
