Rimstyle are running another group buy at very little money, or there's BAT who turn them round within a week.

the rears aren't true coilovers, but the spring sits on an adjustable platform, so you can adjust the height

what are the disavantages of this compared to having coilovers on the rear?? im not gonna be ragging my car on the track or anything, just normal driving and bit of speeding n harsh cornering somtimes thats all
the FK highsport lowers -75mm ALL around init? but is it a true -75mm?
i wanna get them brand new, but cheers for offer "icy"

his are brand new
apparantly it's stronger to keep the chassis supported on the original spring locations. otherwise you're putting more force through the suspension turrets than they were designed for. dunno how true this is.

There's probably some truth in that, plus the fact the rear beam and turret need alteration which you won't do with a socket set and some spring compressors.

got mine from rimstyle, happy with them good service and prompt (£370). they are fairly smooth ride-wise especially compared to my koni/eibach setup. however i am gonna have to take the grinder to my rear arches now as the wheels are sitting inside and catching the metal lip.

Yeah it was a group buy. I too got a set, am very pleased with toby at rimstyles service and the coilovers themselves. You wont find anyone cheaper than rimstyle m8!
I took a grinder and hammer to mine, it still rubs m8! Bodyshop are gonna pull all me wings out this coming week so ill see if it clears then....

Got mine from bat motorsport. Ordered on the friday and they were delivered on the monday I heard you cant fit proper coilovers to the rear on corsas without modification to the chassis. Extremely pleased with the FKs though!
