I recently installed some Jamex springs, the front looks great exactly what i was looking for however the rear springs make noise and dont even look right

This is a Corsa C, this photo was taken with the car completely unloaded

Surely that can't be right? May aswell have a solid rear end.

Blimey. My Apex rears looked as though they had about half as many coils!

Is what you should be left with. I googled Corsa Rear Springs, and these could be a B, but still.....
