So as I cannot find Coilovers for the Daewoo anywhere I took matters in my own hands. The result is an adjustable suspension using my existing Monroe Schocks, some H&R 250 pound springs (200MM) and some threaded pipe and some more bits and bobs
Works like a dream - car is about 10mm lower on street tires and I can raise the front about 1 inch on race days to accommodate my drag slicks.

Re: Nubaroo - suspension upgrade
The threaded pipe, nuts and cups/spacers was machined by a good friend of my tuner
Modifying my existing shocks with these and the H&r springs cost me a whopping $200 and a bit of elbowgrease!!
The Astra shocks does not fit in the Woo as far as I know??

thats some bad ass ghetto suspension you got going there. nice work.
this now paves the way for everyone else struggling to get hold of "plug-n-play" adjustable suspension.
