Ok iaz has finished my car now and made a cracking job of it, so i'm wanting to slam it

It's already 25/30mm on eibach springs and bilstein dampers but doesn't actually look like it has been touched so i'm going for some coilovers

Which are a decent make for around £400-£500?

Would like some that r gona drop it between 40-60mm or there abouts

I know there's FK, but want to know if there's any others that are as decent or better...

Get the Highsports.

I've had mine and done about 20 thousand miles on them now. Look after them and they're fine.

People will moan and whine about them all day long on here, But there are a lot of happy FK customers on the board

Only bad point I can think of is that the adjustable camber thingy is wank. And tends to knock the tracking out quite easily. Think i've had my Corsa tracked 6 times in total now

budget coilovers are not a good option.

if you have bilstein dampers (if they are the yellow ones) just get some springs made up to suit what you want.

i just like the idea of been able to have it pretty low on some days... if i wana show it off etc and thean a reasonable height for normal driving.

Just been looking on german ebay and looking at the fk highsports as an example are about £100 cheaper than over here

ive got kw variant 1's for sale (c0st £590), awsome handling. there similar to the fk's, but the fronts have stainless steel bodies, so look mint all the time, when they get dirty just wipe off, and they look like new... like dave a said, dont bother with cheap coilovers, i'd rather stick with the bilstien dampers and egt new springs...
