Spax RSX793
http://www.spax-suspension.co.uk/p1321666.htm
And FK Highsport

As sand-eel says. Also, it looks as though the rsx have damper adjustment, for soft to hard settings....

How does the rear height adjustment work on a corsa? Just wondered because of the way the springs arent around the shock as they are up front?

Spax RSX are great IMO.
Definitely need to adjust the firmness of mine though, they're rock solid

soak it in wd40, and use a large screw driver, that sorted mine out

Sprayed tons of GT85 on it (like WD40) and used a big screwdriver, started to mash the adjuster

Yeah, one of them isn't rusted so I can do that one ok. Turning it anti-clockwise 
I can get a pic if you like, it's really really rusty
Someone at work suggested warming it up a bit.

dont think mine was "that" rusty, but was quite seized, couldn't do it by hand with the adjuster nut thing, but big screw driver socket on rachet sorted it

I don't think we have a screwdriver socket, sounds like a good idea though.

I was thinking of buying my own can of GT85 or WD40 to use on it until it moved instead of wasting my dad's
