Wanted - coilovers for a K11

[RyanConorMurphy]

Hi, I'm looking to buy coilovers ready to fit directly to a K11 as I haven't got the money to modify Corsa B coilovers and springs are just not low enough!

It would be really helpful if anyone has any they are willing to sell or knows of anyone I could contact that sell them.

Thanks

Be cheaper to buy corsa coilies and the tools to modify yourself than buy direct fit, at a bare minimum you need a rat tail file and an angle grinder (can be had for around £20) iirc, so £200 all in where direct fits are at a lowest around £400 mark

Okay, thanks for the advice

I was also wondering if anyone had any Corsa coilovers that were already modified to fit a K11 as this would make things a whole lot easier

Just get some second hand corsa ones the modding is very minor and if you have tools its free

Is it not essential to have Micra lowering spring then? Cause I thought you need to swap out the corsa rear springs for lowered Micra ones

Corsa rear springs are pig tail and wont fit.

Okay, thanks! I guess cutting them is the best option and I can pick up corsa b coilies quite cheap, thanks guys

I reckon cut about 95mm worth of spring cut off your standard rears should keep them captive for safety with the corsa shocks.
