It's for the front.

I'm going to be using my corsa as a track day car.

I'm wanting to know what you think is best for handling. Don't worry about the price of things.

On the back i have Spax RSX 60mm setup (cheers Willay ).

Replace them with coilovers, they'll be too soft and it doesn't need to be comfortable.

why do they have to be coilovers

If money is no object get a set mad eup for you with decent rates and high poundage springs.

Most off the shelf kits wont have stiff enough springs if you seroius about handling on track.

Look at the top end of bilsteins range

doesnt need full coilovers, decent struts (bilstein yellows) and correctly matched springs with the right poundage for the car will be better than 90% of the coilovers that are available.

(p.s I sell front coilovers seperately with any poundage springs and fully adjustable damping and ride height)
