the handling is such a big difference. i went out in an astra gte and the front wouldnt understeer or slide or anything. it just stuck like shit to a blanket. and when i was out in it it was damp and no wheelspinning when changing gear and no loss of traction . well worth the money

i think it just down to it's not the type of car that will feel the benifit of a diff

as with the kit and the work that gone into it your unlikely to be ragging it down a b road for example

yeah..... but how low is the car.....

I dont think your car is silly..... i think your possibly being silly spending 500+ on something i'm not sure you will fully get the benift from.

Yes - it will make it easier, nicer, safer to drive in the wet, or on power through corners....... but a c20xe in a corsa isnt all that bad if you dont poke it with a big stick
