im doin the xe conversion on my corsa but not sure what suspension to use
i've been told any corsa uprated shocks will do but then i was told to use astra mk3 shocks.
im a bit confused and hoped u lot can help me.
my front bumper is pretty close to the floor and i know when the engine is in it will lower it even more.
heres a pic so u can c how close it really is

also im cant afford coilovers but they will b coming in the future im just after a quick replacement

Courtenay sport do 2 litre springs IIRC, your front end will sit a bit higher but they are more suited for the extra weight in the front.
Some people love and hate different suspension sets up, koni adjustables and some higher pound rating front springs would be a decent set up.

FK do a coilover suspension with higher poundage springs, Rimstyle will sort you out with a good deal and excelent service

You can't use Astra shocks. Whoever told you that was having a laugh. The above are the options you have. Other than that, normal lowering springs will do the job alright, your front end will just sit a little low...
