Found out today one of my shocks is leaking, so thought i might aswell buy a full new kit!!

Got 16" Comp Mos on the way, would i be better lowering it 40mm or 60mm with 16" wheels!!

I currently have 15" with 35mm suspension and it sits a bit high, but i dont want it stupidly low so its always scratching!!

Got about £150-£175 to spend, what brand should i go for and what lowering distance!?

Any pics off the kit you recommend on a corsa would be great aswell

Cheers

1st kit is shit. steer clear.

2nd set are probably the best fixed rate shocks available for a corsa. Ive got them on mine and I use the bilstein tarmac rally spec springs (about £120) or eibachs would be ideal.

how good are spax coilovers??

also was talking to my mate about fitting the suspension once i get it, he seems to think 60mm set with 15" wheels will rub?? is this the case??
also i told him i thought he would have to change the cambers?? is that needed??

I have a spax vsx 50mm all round on 15s, no rubbing at all...

it all depends on your wheels offset...

i was on budget and got my kit for 140...definitely worth and nice handling and cornering though you will have to get used to a firm ride

check my agrage for some pics before and after lowering...now it sits a bit more
