I want some special coilovers.

As my car never gets dirty or wet they will always look clean

How much can you lower them on and where from?

Heard loads of stuff about Spax, but as long as you are happy.

Leaky shocks, corroded threads etc...

You may have to space the fronts if you wanna go really low as the ring wouldnt wind down past the wheel on mine!! I used a 5mm and that seemed to be fine!!

What suspension you got on there now? Only reason i ask is i had that kit on my old corsa!! I swapped it from a standard spax kit to the RSX and the rear shocks on the RSX had a smaller bump stop and resulted in more travel and the arches catching, had to get these little C shape bump stops from FK i think to stop it!! You shouldnt have that prob anyway cus of your speedlines, but it may be worth getting a couple just incase!!

Not sure what size the bump stops are on bilstein, but when you take em off just compare the rear ones and you'll see if all is dandy!! You cant just swap the bumpstops either cus they have welded a cap on top of the rod to stop you taking them off and on, dont know why!

Does the RSX start at a 40mm or 60mm drop i cant remember? what drop are the rear springs?
