having seen many threads regarding fitting corsa coilovers to a k11 i am now going down this road with mine. i know some people have drilled out and welded on the flexi pipe braket from the micra strut onto the coilovers. i didnt fancy doing this, did not want to put that much heat into the strut tbh. so i set about trying to come up with a different solution, today one fell into my lap
vauxhall astra G, has a similar pipe to strut base set up, but the braket is removable, itsbolted in place via the 2 hub to strut bolts, trim off the un needed bits and they fit the micra a treat, no need for a welder. something to keep your eye out for in your local scrappers or we scrap so many astras that i should have a steady supply of them sould anyone want a pair
heres a pic, top one is a drilled off micra one, lower is the astra unit
