so lmf know nothing about vauxhall components or aftermarket parts for vauxhalls?
i, like many trust their judgement. they will buy in bulk and therefor cheaper, thus being able to pass the saving on.
im not saying theyre the best in the world but if i cant find any cheap enough then i will certainly try them, if only to get my car as close to the ground as possible

but that is not always the best way. i aint trying to be a cock, i build cars for track and show and found that you aint going to go wrong with a set of FK coilover if you want to go low and use on the streets but if you want to thrash your car around a track on a weekend or streets go billys. and if you want to break your spine get SPAX rsx
i want to give you a example of poo coilovers
my mate got some cheap coilovers for his mk4 golf, 4month down the line he has blow 2 back shocks and shatted a sping (not snapped) he paid 200 from what i can remember. they looked just as good as my £800 weitechs for my golf but guess what. they aint ha ha
sorry if you thought i was trying to piss on your judgment

i recently sold my cav which attended pv last year, it did less than 500 miles between mot's so it would take me about 60 years to break a shock .
my 60mm springs look ok with the redtop weight on them but its like driving on a trampoline!!
owt cheap will be just the job for me, cheers 
now anyone got some cheap ones for me!!!!

well mine must be knacked then both of my novas have been the same both set up for 1.6 gsi's, my mate v6 nova was the same and so was my mates 1.4 sport corsa.
dont get me wrong they make the car hold the road mint but got 3 different set set ups on different cars and all are better ride than the spax .
MY VIEWS ON SPAX
smokey just got in touch with the lad i am braking the car with and he wants to keep them for his nova. sorry
