you wont get much lower if any with coilovers mate, id stick with wat u got


been told i can lower the back around 120 on gaz coilovers been i'll have to see what happens


its all wel an good the coilover goin down 120mm but the tyre can only go so far into the arche before the trye starts to rub on the contour of the inner arch. an yes i like my cars low but why wud u want it that low, it wont move, go over any bumps, anythin

105mm lower on a corsa rear is near enuff impossible to drive on.

heres as low as a corsa can possibly go on the rear on 17inch wheels

pic is with shock and spring removed and shell sittin on top of the tyres.



60mm rear springs i had in it before brings the arch trim down over the top of the tyre

my coilsprings 90mm rear springs bring the arch trim down over the rim of the alloy. cant physically go any lower and still drive
