Pls help..

I have a 1600 Sport Corsa, with Combat 2 Wide kit... and I wanna improve the handling..

I am thinkin of gettin some Bilstein gas shocks coz the body roll at the moment is unbelievable, but will this be enough?

Problem is, I dont wanna lower the car much, due to the front bumper...
If I get lowering springs I wanna only lower it 20mm max? Is this possible?

I understand that the Sport is lower than a standard corsa anyway... any idea how much by?

Cheers

Edd

You could just get the shocks mate, that will improve it to an extent however ideally you will want the spring too.
Eibach do -30mm springs, dont know if anyone makes 20mm ones personally.

What size wheels are you running, because that will affect the handling, presume you are sitting on 17s at least with a PSG wide kit, if so that will cause ropey handling.

I know the GSI is lower as standard, not sure about the sport.
Got any pics of your can mate, i may have seen it around because you are near me.
