I search coilover kit with height and ride adjustable.
And very good quality!
What is the difference between FK High Sport coilover kit and Cobra coilover kit evo 2 ?

if u look at how close the tyre is to the spring platform. couldnt get the car down as low as i wanted cos it would hit the tyre.

i have some smaller helper springs on the way. these should cure the prob.

the cobras will hit the same, and mine is down lower than that without it touching the tyre at all.

Also cobras are NOT rear height adjust on corsa b, they are fixed height -60mm. I know i was going to get a set... but got highsport instead.

Tbh i wish i had spent the extra and got konigsports tho.

well i cant argue in a perfect world i would have had avo's but at the price we got the FK's for i wouldnt go arguing.

i whould also mention that Its my wheels that caused me my problems... as adi said he is able lower his past the tyre's with no problem.


Adi... i must have a look at your suspension sometime when i'm at a show over that way or sumthin. i have the other helper springs on order so hopefully they will cure the hieght problem with my yoke.
