neither have the right springs for a 2.0 conversion.

fk do a 2.0 set-up, fks will get slatted though as they sold thousands of sets and a small few went wrong...
i have had fk's on the corsa for 2 years and there fine for what i do, which is mostly getting to work 
if your looking for coilovers you can piss about with IE change the damping and ride height etc gaz and spax are both good options
i have driven a corsa with avo's, they go stupid low but its bloody harsh and makes your teeth crunch over bad road surface

but the cheap FK stuff isnt damoing adjustable so the spring poundage doesnt match the damping rate as they use the normal dampers for them.

ive been reading passed posts on the subject. and found mixed opinions. people say fk's dont last very long and are poor build quality, but spax end up leaking fluid :s
seen as the spax are supposed to be about £100 more than fks, am i right in assuming they are of a better build quality? and generally better than the fk's?

to save the hassle get gaz, once they have sold thousands they will get loads of bad words said about them...
on a serios note, depends on your budget mate, fk's are about 330 where as gaz i think are over 400 ?

i have spax rsx on my 2.0. handles fine but since going in a car with a gaz set up on it i now want them.they are a lot better in every way.so for the price you would pay for the spax you could get a set of gaz's of dave a
