Right Im getting my 17s put on my Corsa C today, and loads of people have been saying it will feel like a monster truck unless I lower it, and will look crap, SO........
Firstly - is this true??
Secondly - how much should I lower it?? I still want to avoid scrubbing/scatching and be able to get people in the back and bags in the boot without problems.., and I meen no problems at all 
Lastly - what lowering springs shall I get?? How much and where from?
(please post links if you can), Also need to get them fitted, where??
Thanks Guys

There's a fair few types of springs available for the Corsa C TBH.
I've got Apex -40mm ones as they were cheap - £76 from http://www.pvdnet.co.uk
I wouldn't imagine you'd have any problems with scrubbing either, these arches are hooooge 
As for fitting, any local garage should be able to do it - I paid £50 to get mine fitted.

Have you personally had any problems with lowering -40mm, as I know most people have only lowered -30mm.....
Have you experianced any problems with Scrubing/Catching??

Right just rang my local garage and asked how much it would cost to fit some springs if I bought them and they said, it will take 1 hour per spring at a cost of £20 an hour so that meens a total of £80.... Is this a rip off and can I gwt it cheaper somewhere else you reckon??

1 hour per spring   What are they, fecking blind! I'd deffo go elsewhere!
And nope, no scrubbing at -40mm on 16"s but there's loads of space still so I'd say it'd be ok with 17"s too TBH
