does anyone know a website i can get k11 coilies on a finance payment? or can anyone post me to a proper step by step guide to the corsa b coilover setup or the matiz setup? prefare the finance but if it comes to it corsa coilies would be best im looking to set them up with the corsa top mount as i hear the micra one goes very low but i need it to not be so low as my wheels offset will make the tyres rub, but any ways guys if you know anywhere please help me out!

I would like to but theyre is no proper step by step guide of how to fit them with the corsa topmounts i just dont understand!If you're looking for actual k11 coilies I wouldn't bother, they're silly bucks.
I'd focus on the corsa and polo coilover combination, like I have. £50 for all 4

Same as my Spax coilovers, sometimes it rubs on the arch, but i think i need to adjust the panhard rod a bit better, only rubs on one side...
cool, any mod needed for the bottom hole? thanks

Either drill out the hole to bore it out so the Micra bolts can fit, or source smaller bolts.
Grind the bottom mount of the Polo coily down to the weld so they're thin enough to slot in the shock support on the car. Total drop is about 120mm, almost low enough.
go on BC coilovers or FK Silverline for k11

how much coils did you take of the back bud?Before
After
It measures 12inches from the center of the wheel to the wheel arch. Wheels are standard steels with 175 on the rear and 155 on front.
There is a bit of a gap between the tyre and wheel are but the pic doesnt really show it well
