Hello...

Just wondering if anybody has any views on lowering a corsa b 60mm. would it be advisable to uprate the shocks? and if so where can decent replacements be sourced??

thanks

Nevermind advisable, it'd be a very bumpy ride if you don't. You'll also kill the standard dampers very quickly.

Anything aftermarket it suitable, they're all interchangable.

at -60mm you want to be looking for shortened shocks to retain the full piston stroke. standard length uprated shocks will have little movement if the springs compress as i found out with my koni's (standard length) and eibachs -30mm springs which dropped to about -50mm when the valver went in.
