I wonder why the springs don't make much of a difference on the GSi.

Did you notice a difference when you fitted them to the Burgendey? Or did you have the RARB fitted at the same time?

I had the eibachs on mine, you can feel a difference but the car still behaves like a barge, body roll and understeer is still just as bad.

iv aquired (again) one for mine, but the batteries not big enough

going to fit the GO derv battery off the corsa onto it, as then it will fit, as the standard vauxhall battery on the car atm, isnt great!
