I'm confused about what to do, my old Corsa was lowered 60mm with 17's but i want this one to be low with smaller wheels, what does everyone think for ride quality and how low it will be etc etc

AND where can I get 80mm shocks and springs for a Corsa B, or will i have to use corsa 60mm shocks with nova 60mm springs?



Cheers guys n gals

anything more than a 45mm drop is bad for handling

i dont drive quick enough to worry about handling anymore round lanes etc so havent got to worry about handling so much

I think you need to concentrate on handling as much as possible so you can get out the way of drunken women and cars that just pull out on ya, if you really wanna go low then get coilovers as springs and shocks will be crap that low.

deffo coilovers fk go pretty damn low with std springs, but if you want to go stupidly low, just buy the kit with shorter springs.
