fingers crossed me combo b is going and is being replaced with a combo c.

does anyone know what the suspension set up is on them, and will corsa b front springs fit?

cheers

Think the 'c' will be to heavy for springs off a 'b', rears might be the same, I cant remember

to lower most leaf spring's you can usualy get blocks to raise the rear hubs\axle off the spring what will lower the car/van

edit.... scrub that just looked at the vx epc the combo b uses leaf springs but the combo c uses the same setup as the corsa c coil spring and shock the spring will be uprate tho compared to the car for weight carrying

cheers, time to hunt lowering springs down now,

as for lowering the rear of a combo b, if its the face lift one then there is blocks inbetween the axle and the spring that you can remove, to go even lower then youll need to get the springs straightend, theres a place in traford park manchester, that does it
