its not nesc good.... comes down to preference.

Try it on and off, its an easy job.

check http://www.trackscotland.co.uk/projects/corsa.htm for details on mine.


Expensive - yes... but that wasnt the issue. Reliability and getting fed up with never using it was. It was brilliant fun when it worked, but a complete pain in the ass 95% of the time.

some vids
1/4mile

raw fun, but very twitchy handling (my setup)....
Brakes were immense though

tbf whislt they may be shite and not have mega ace no rustable things, once you get them on the car you wont be able to tell, espically if you havent had anything better, my advice would be to get a fixed hiegth kit for similar money or just buy them coilovers, end of the day its a corsa so no matter what you do it aint guna handle like a porsche even with Dave's mega super dopa awesome GAZ coilovers

unless double wishies are used, that is what i'am hoping to do, design them using a suspension program called "wingeo", for my uni project, maybe sell them if up to scratch, the uni said they could help me go into business

GAZ - they are ok i think... i thought they were quite cheap. never tried them though.

Guy that started the company is ex AVO i think.

In my opinion, (non competition spec) AVO are shite.

Avo's a cheap things too. When you look at how much top spec Whiteline and KW kits cost, and see thier spec you know why Avo and the rest are so cheap.

I think Whitelines come in at around £1300 odd. They are fully adjustable race spec though.
