100mm nova springs on a corsa will sit about 105-110mm

corsa's are heavier

my corsa is sat on 40mm nova springs at the back but look a tad lower

Im down 100mm rear on 14s - et30 8j wide.

But was down 100mm rear on et49 before. wernt much room in the arches, and mine were debolted and inner grinded. But just debolt them if you experience any problems but on 15s you should be ok.

to be honest, thats sits just about right on the back..

ive got all the interior in the back of my corsa, dont realy have no one in the back (well not when the cars moving anyway )

reckon 100mms are the way forward then? just dont want it looking to high with 80mms but dont want the hassel with 100mms...
