im ditching my gmax setup for something better but im unsure on what kit to buy next.

i fancy doin the odd trackday so i was thinking of buying coilovers so i can adjust them fully for what i plan on doing on the day etc, i use the car mostly at weekends for fun and cruising etc.

just wondered which brand ppl recommend for sharp handling and practicality rather than for just slamming the car. I also would like to keep the modding of the car to fit them to min-not at all as ive heard rear coilovers wont fit without mods/turreting?

I was looking at KONI, SPAX RSX and BILSTEIN PSS9 but after speaking to a few people im told Bilstein dont do the PSS9 kit for the nova and ive also heard FK are pretty good also.

Any advice or recommendations??

Cheers
Simon

i think bilstein do a kit for the corsa which will probably fit. if your willing to pay for bilsteins you might want to have a look a h&r as well cos i would imagine they will be pretty good too, my mates got some on his golf.

The PSS9 kit is available for the Nova - and its pretty fookin expensive.

Although not as expensive as Proflex kit I dream about (sad I know)

Fuck using them cowboys, Bilstein do do a PSS 9 fit for on a nova tweeks are talking out of there ass there. I personally would get one of the FK kits for on my nova as from what i hear the PSS9 kit gives a very harsh ride for day to day use. Rick

cheers for the info guys, i spoke to tweeks again who now say they do the bilstein kit.

i have been doing some thinking, ideally the fk kit or the pss9 kit would be ideal cos of the features, recommendations they have had etc.

ive decided to try the spax kit, it has the adjustabilty i wanted plus its not overly expensive which leaves some of my budget to buy other parts. i cant see the kit bein too crap either (i hope) ill let you know how i get on with them!!
