Front and rear coilover units for less than ?300 posted, hmmm!

On a similar note, GMAX have now started selling coilovers (http://www.corsacentre.com/Nova%20corsa%20vauxhall%20parts/Detail.asp?PID=2833&CatID=20&CarID=1)! Quite fancy knowing what they're like too!

I thought the -60mm GMAX kit on my 1200 Nova was dreadfull.

The way I see it is, when was the last time you saw a rally car or race car with GMAX as a parts sponsor?

BILSTEIN, Eibach, H&R, AVO, LEDA etc different story.

Some of those are expensive, Yes. But there are proper quality brands out there like KONI that have a good reputation for a good reason. Ive lost over ?600 on poor suspension on my Nova.

Ive said it before, but I'd rather walk than put up with a rubbish ride quality & poor handling.

Quite how they can market a decent kit that is well developed, made with good quality materials that wont corrode or fail & offer a warranty is questionable.

Just like to add I'd be happy to be proved wrong....

yeh spose i'll just get avo's then that way i'll have coilovers on the rear aswell so i can fully set it up for the track.

i dont want to buy a cheaper set and have them brake on me etc.
