yes but you need to remove the circle in the cup that centralises the springs. i need to look and confirm this to be 100%.

I'm having a but of trouble with mine (corsa c), rears were ok, the bottom tf the adjuster doesnt sit right tho.

u need spacers in order to go low at the front with the helper spring on, this is not a 'problem' its a fact of coilovers...

Mine is high at the mo, on my way out to get some spacers.

i left the part that was on the old show off ( bit with the bearing that mates onto the spring) as the fk's have the brasse plate with a bearing in.

i'm tempted to get some of these to drop my car from this...

to this....

but are people having trouble with these coilovers touching the wheels without spacers? and how firm is the ride. cos i got gmax -40 springs atm and its not very firm and i get alot of rubbing at the front on the liner. makes a silly farting noise

yes i think it was just a packaging nut, there should only be on nut right on the top (nylock type).

The front spacers dont cause any trouble that u wudnt have anyway if that makes sense.
With 17's if u go low at the front its gonna catch when u turn simple as that, but i do reccomend the kit, tis good.
