right change of plan elephant will only cover me with up to a 50mm drop
so its 50mm / 40mm 
might just play it safe and get 40mm as mavs looks nice 
Can they actually really tell how much your car is lowered though 
BTW anyone know of any 50mm kits?

I'd go for 40mm -- there's more to life than looks. Sometimes it's nice to have some comfort, better handling, and not worry which routes you take...
...or am I just getting old?

Aye! Mine is very hard....good on flat, even roads are great but bumpy ones
60mm for looks / 40mm for comfort...

I chickend out and got 40mm g-max kit 
But spoke to the supplier and he rekons it sits lower then 40mm anyway and he wouldnt recomend the 60mm kit if i regurly take passagers (I usually take four peeps and four bikes with me on the essex bike trials weekends and that lowers it anther 20mm anyway )
Just got to wait for it to turn up and find somewhere to fit it then il get the pics up ASAP
I only have one niggaly problem though is there a way of checking the kit when it arrives to see if it is right for my car before I take it to the garage as it is not listed for a 1.2 only 1.2i but the supplier insisted that it was ok. so I took his word for it
is there anything to look for to check its ok? Im sure all basic corsa must be the same though 
PS anyone still know if lee mitchel still fits suspension? as i spoke to him a while back. Might send him a U2U
BTW thanks for all your replys
