but it looks like coilovers that you can get for the nova / corsa will fit spot on. if I can find some cheap I will give it ago.
I also have some old front shocks and springs so when I fit my alloys next week I will see if they fit
if they do I will let you all know as you can buy good coilovers for about £180 about $250 and say £100 to ship over to your side of the pond they could be a good cheap way of getting coilovers
for anyone that dont know what a uk vauxhall nova or corsa looks like go on google and have a look
i would want some of those goodies right there =)

Re: spax coilovers
right I have had a look and it looks like the vauxhall nova / corsa front shocks will fit but they dont have the part the roll bar goes on.
I may know away for them to work so I will give it ago as lowering my kalos is next on the to do list and 30mm drop is not going to do it so I must find away to get it down to a 60mm drop.
I know the rear coilovers should just bolt on by the looks of it. so what I am going to do is buy some very old nova / corsa coilovers that are not much good and have a play to see how well they fit and get back to you as soon as I can

Re: spax coilovers
just been looking on the UK ebay and have seen this front shock and spring for a 2005 corsa c
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-CORSA-SX ... 20ae67d539
they look spot on to me. do you guys think so ?
if they are right all I have to do is get a front set of coilovers to fit the corsa c
and after looking for back springs they are not the same as are cars so I will keep looking

Re: spax coilovers
the appearance isnt all that important, its the width of the spindle and how far apart the bolt holes are... along with the length of the shock.
Re: spax coilovers
here we go corsa c coilover kit
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ADJUSTABLE-COILOV ... 2eaa750562
like I say the back springs are not the same but the back shocks should fit.
I think it will cost you guys about $200 to buy and I would say $100 plus to ship them over

Re: spax coilovers
The 09 and earlier aveos have the same suspension
No one has fitted those coilvers yet though to know if they fit
