ok, got a set of eibach sportline 50mm springs and gmax shocks all round. gonna have them fitted this afternoon. The tyres are 205/45/17. Does anyone know if this will rub on standard arches. No mods have been done whatsoever to the arches. Any advise very much appreciated. Thanks

42's really the limit I'd be happy with fitting on a Corsa - you'd need minor mods to fit on 17s and a -50mm drop, even possibly with ET49 wheels.
Nothing major though, debolt your arches like AJ's said.

i've got some AVO -35mm and it looks lower than that. you sure eibach didn't send you the 35mm ones?
maybe it's cause you've got 17's and i've only got 15s
