Any eles got the fk suspension kit fitted to there corsa ??
I got a 40mm kit fitted about a week ago and it really low at the front . It look more like 60mm at the front when it ment to be 40mm , the back seems to be about right . So now i got to get some new springs , as it rubbing really bad and it too low for what i want .
Just wanted to know if any1 has experianced this with the fk kit ?? or is mine a freak kit .

some FK kits have 60 at the front and 40 at the rear, maybe that's what they sent you?

Whoohoo it not just me then , i think it must just be the nature of the kit or we hav both been given the wrong kit .
U say u fitted p1 spring to the front , i was thinking about getting some p1 springs . But i wasnt sure weather to get 30mm or 45mm ones , as i would the sri ones . Are the springs u fitted the -40 for a standard corsa ??
thx for any help

yeah they are -40, i think, as they came on the car wen i bought it, but the front are fairly low, so could b 45.
Only reason i got fk kit was that the rear p1 springs collapsed as they are the same poundage rate as std, and thought it would b better to hav full kit, rather than mix and match. But the fk front was just too low 2 b practical for me. so i put the p1 springs back on to see if it raised it, and it did, so ive just left them, ride is quite good, as is handling

thx m8 u been a big help , think ill get the p1 -45 . Thing is i quit like the way a low front end looks and I could maybe get away with having the front at 60mm , as i only need car at weekends , but i like countryroads too much for a low rubbing front end 
thx

yeah, imo 60/40 doesnt look right, get the p1 -45, u wont be dissappointed.
No probs, i remember how frustrating not knowing what was up with the suspension, as no 1 else had the fk kit, i had 1 of the firts sets, and i thought i had fitted it wrong as there were no instructions.
