Right, got 60mm Nova springs on the front at the moment - wasn't a problem until now. With the weight of the XE over the front it has started fouling the arches.

So my question to you today is; what springs to you guys use for a coverted Corsa?

I'm hoping that raising it slightly may improve the silly camber on the front too

Thanks

I dont know much about this stuff im im guessing you need a higher poundage spring in the front due to the extra weight so i would look for the correct springs. They dont cost much even if you were to buy them new from websites or even ebay. Hope this helps. Go for a 60mm front drop as you get slight camber but not so much you wreck tyres. Im guessing you have uprated shocks too

simple google search will give you more information, first page i clicked gave me this:

if its got an XE or LET in then the springs that you'd get with a std Nova / Corsa lowering kit aren't going to be up to the job, sure the G-Max stuff would be ok but your going to have to fit some heavier poundage front springs, Courtenay sell them for about £55.
