Hi all. I have just brought a redtop engine conversion for my corsa b. I have all the parts to fit it i just need to sort my suspension out. Does anyone know where i can get some springs made up to take the extra weight of the xe? I have tried courtenay but they only do 25mm springs and wont make a custom set. Also let me know what you guys are using. Cheers in advance.

coil overs is a great way to go, plenty to choose from depending on your budget.

Ive been reading about coilovers and how some corsas need moifying for them to fit and having to use spacers but i cant uae spacers because then my speedlines will catch on my front arches.

you wont need any spacers if you are using coilovers designed for a corsa b and the correct vauxhall fitment wheels
