I'm finally getting around to lowering my corsa B! The only problem is, I dont know much about lowering! I've seen Corsas lowered 40mm front and back, 60mm front and back, or 60mm front and 40mm back, which looks quite cool i reckon. Its on 15's at the moment, with no plans of changing. Any advice on lowering combinations or products please? Any advice would be much appreciated! Cheers

go 40 all round m8, 60 looks better but you hit all sorts of problems then, whether its scrpping underneath to rubbing on the arches! what offset are your wheels?

i have ordered 60mm Spax coilovers so i can adjust if 60mm is too uncomfortable or too low. i recommend u get coilovers to, although they are expensive
(see 86coz of the site, if ur after coilovers) imo

I'd go 40mm all round. Save up for a decent kit like Koni or Spax. Don't just change the springs.

Go 60mm , you shouldn't have any problems provided you have the right offset wheel.

Cheers for the pics. I suppose a small drop on top quality gear is better than a big drop on shoddy stuff eh!

eibach sport line springs are highly rated on here, ive had mine on standard shock for 3days and ok its not perfect being on standard shocks but it handles so much better then say if it was on just 40mm gmax springs. spax kits are slightly better quality then g max if you are on a budget deffo go 60mm all round or u wont be happy.,

i got hold of nova front shocks and rear shocks and springs made by spax.Should have dropped the car 40mm front and back but as the corsa is heavier its more like 45 and it looks trick!
