Heres a few pics of ma corsa. Just finished painting the Gsi wheels and got them on yesterday. Lowered 60mm at the moment but sitting a bit high.
Not sure what to get for it.
Comments welcome...

Only reason for the short plates iis because it looks daft with normal length because my reg is short. Leaves huge gaps at either end.

tool coilovers are the best thing ive ever purchased of my car, so your just putting springs on with standard shocks why bother id rather drive round without it lowered if that was the case

Yep i have coil overs on mine.
Mine are avo's so they are geniune coil overs front and rear - after having a "60mm lowering kit" myself i would never shmip on suspension ever again.

Bit rough but stunning performance. transforms the car IMO

Its not standard shocks. Full apex kit at the moment. Just not happy with the height of the springs. Coilovers arent an option just now because of the money.

same here had 60mm suspension kit before and thought that was okay but with the coilovers the car feels alot more solid even just normal driving, whole ride is much better, coilovers aint all that expensive mate can get fks for under £400

True. But its 400 that a dont have at the moment. For 60 a can get a set of 60mm nova springs. A know it wont drive anywhere near as good as coilovers but at least it will look a bit better till a can afford them.

Hate those wheels witha passion on anything other than a cav or a calibra, but they work well on your car!

Looking good

No no and no

I think it looks spot on.

Seriously save your cash and wait for coil overs you never know a second hand set may come up - i promise you its worth it.
