Hello All
I'm looking for advice on which suspension setup to go for on a C16XE Nova. I'm wanting it lowered 60mm, and it'll be run on 15" Vauxhall wheels. I'm basically looking for the best handling setup, don't really care if the ride is harsh etc.
Cheers!

Coilovers are a bit too pricey for me just now...I'm thinking more along the lines of a kit! Limit is 300

For pure handling get the bilstein sprintline kit, I have this and they are stiff as fook! Honestly they are leathel.
You will go round corners like your car is a roller coaster!
Only ?218.
Mine will be for sale soon as I am upgrading to avo coilovers 8)

This is the affect I am after! I have Bilstein shocks on my car just now and I've been impressed with them! Cheers for your help folks!

On a small block Nova I would strongly advise the Courtenay clubman kit. Best handling Nova Ive been in to mine had this kit.
from here I'd say get a strut brace, decent bushes fitted (new GM are fine) & then fit a chassis strengthening kit.
My fave chassis mod is my Rosejointed bottom arms..AWESOME
