suspension for an xe nova

[doug_sri]

currently the car has standard shocks i think with 60mm lowering springs but not too sure since i never fitted them. Looking at buying a spax rsx 543 Kit for it but just wanted some opinions.

Thanks

I run gaz coilovers with astra 200lb front springs and its PURRFECT!

i use avo coilovers on mine an alot of other 2lt novas i know also do, when set up right they can handle very well. Im not sure what other people are using.

then just nova springs on the back?

[Stoo]

On the rear its got bilstein shocks and springs! I assume nova spec!

200lb front springs seems very low mate?

i was discussing fitting 260-280lb springs to my 1.2 8v so i'd guess a 2.0 would need nearer 300lb springs?

I'm running 300lb on mine, even the standard ones that come with the coilvers for a standard Nova are 250lb so 200lb is definitely too low!!

mine are 225lb they are know where near up to the job, gotta change them.

Mine has 325 lb ones iirc on the front and 175 lb ones on the back.
