Non-Nova but Corsa B.

Lowered 40mm ish on the rear, and im needing rear shocks, leakage and there not doing any dampening!

I have three options, Standard New cheap ****, Standard replacement gas filled items, or aftermarket items, like spax etc.
But i want to keep the ride softish, the standards, if they wernt so ****ed would be good i think.

Standard replacement gas filled items is winning for me atm.
So, Any body had experiance with all of the above and figured out which would be best for me? I dont want it rock solid, but i dont want it as floppy as it is now, so answers on a A4 sheet lol

Cheers you non-billingers

spax adjustables are prity good not too harsh and with the turn of a screw can transform them

Thats nice of you :( I do want to know where this thing of me bodging things comes from :(
I do things proper with corsa's :p

What sort of price am i looking at for adjustables though. I did think about the GAZ rear coilovers that are on ebay for £175, but i dont think its worth it considering its a full time road car and i dont want the rear uber low.

TBF, standard items is prob what il go for.
