hi Prince thanx for the response, i got a diesel as ive just changes job and need to travel 40 miles a day and my 1.4 petrol focus supped juice like mad + it was 155 to tax for the year. So i decided on a diesel to get good mpg and its only £30 to tax for the year quite nippy 2!

l. This can be done by getting just springs (the cheapest option) or coilovers. Springs will only make the car better visually, whilst coilovers will improve handling.
not so true prince, decent springs and dampners can give you as good if not better handling and ride than some coilovers out there. the bigger advantage that coilovers have is adjustability. cheap ones only allow hight which is fine if you want to deck the car and ruin the handling. mid range will allow hight and dampning then your expensive one same as above with the likes of caster and camber adjustment.
i just want mine to be different, nice subtle mods... think my 1st buy is guna be some 16" SRI alloys, dont really av much to spend boyfriend wil go mad if i spend all mi dosh on the car lol
I was talking about just springs. Not shocks as well. A spring and shock combination is only good if you know what you're doing. The other advantage to coilovers is that they're set up for you. The only thing for you to do is the ride height correct. Would you argue with the setup of KWs? I doubt you'd find many better combinations. But you get what you pay for. A set of KW Variant 3s will cost you over £1000, a set of springs (used for visual reasons) will cost you more in the region of £100.
It's usually the other way around! But SRI alloys wouldn't be different.
tbh mate you are giving bad advice here!!! i would never recommend just springs to anyone!! not when spring and damper kits(just for you old git:wink can be bought for a little more!!!
you are not reading the posts properly, on a tight budget so coilovers are out of the window straight away!! half decent ones anyway!! so me personally the least i would do with if lowering is a spring and shock kit!!!
plus coilovers are over rated if you never readjust them like 90% of the people out there with them like me
also sri alloys will make her car different (dont get me wrong no different to any other corsa out there!) but just different to how it is now
