    buyin spax coilovers this week, purely coz i'm gettin them a good 200 quid cheaper than retail, a friend had same ones on his corsa, and the suspension is harsh on them anyway, and his were surprisingly supple. I'll post up wen there fitted and let u know.

    Got Raceland Coilies, they're ok, only had them on a day so far, but just for the hassle of dealing with Raceland, I'd not recommend them :(

    I got Fk's(non damping adjustable but still sweet as you like) and have got no complaints after a year of hard cornering and big smiles.

    Can't compare to other brands though. I got told by many that you pay for for you get when it comes to these shocks.

    The Bilstein PSS9 coilover kits are supposed to be quality bits of kit. [:D]
    Personally, I can't see that there will be much difference between any of the top brand names. (Spax,Koni,FK,Bilstein,H&R)

    I've had AVO's FK's and KW's.

    I'd recommend the FK's and KW's. Check they are top adjustable at the back though some KW's aren't.

    AVO's were fine in their time... they go lower than anything on the planet but need rebuilding every few days! ;)

    I got FK Koenigsports!
    They're the b*****ks!

    Been out in a few cars with KW's! They are the ultimate imo, but they cost a TON!!!

    Also, H&R's are bloody good, but expensive too

    FK;s are great for what you get and the price, although stil on the expensive side!

    If you only want to go low, then don't buy coilovers with any rebound or compression damping, that will save you 100s

    so what are they called?
    there're just coilovers? any special name to look for?
    say for example, FK coilovers what?
