I really want to get coilovers and so i can get a very very long overdue service done and plus i need an MOT next week!!!!
Ive phones PVD about FK coilovers but they are only adjustable between 55 and 75mm but i need to higher it above 55mm!!!!!! So these are out
Decided i will get some bilsteins, yes i know they are expensive but i want good suspension that wont skip and make loads of noise
i phones Demon Tweeks cuz they have Corsa's listed as avalible in coilovers but the guy said they couldnt get them and didnt do them, muppet ,
So, WHERE CAN I GET INFORMATION ON THEM AND WHERE CAN I GET THEM
Any help would be great Oh yeh checked the website couldnt get it to work in english

up to about 40mm ideally but maybe 45-50mm possibly but would be pushing it
Anyone know what Cobra Coilovers are like

To be able to get it on ramps at garages

Cheeky, forget coilovers for that purpose. You have to jack the car up, get some C-spanners undo the lockrings and then turn and turn and turn until its raised. Heres's the score...
Sort your car the way YOU want, what ever suspension you want for your driving style and whatever height you want, even coilovers still if you want them.
NOW go to any vauxhall breakers and get yourself a complete set of front standard legs for a corsa, they usually go for £20 a leg. Its FOUR nuts/bolts per leg on a corsa, no fancy tools or difficult fittings, just an 18mm spanner/18mm socket for the bottom and 13mm socket for the top. It will prob take you 30mins to change both legs.
SORTED, normal height for mr MOT and you can get up ramps etc. To adjust coilovers you have to jack and pull the rims off anyhow, so 8 nuts more is no beef.

You had the tracking done with the coilovers set high and you drive around with them set low? When you alter height you alter tracking you know...
