I very much doubt you'll be seeing much over 100mph if that in a Corsa GSi on track so its not really needed.

cheers for all the input. i have already agreed to buy the setup off a 2l Corsa a mate is breaking.

*4 x Koni top adjustable shocks
*4 x Eibach springs
*2 x courtenay lowered tie bar mounts
*1 x whiteline rear anti-roll bar
*1 x 26mm front anti-roll bar (from combo van) polybushed
*2 x polybushed wishbones
*2 x polybushed tie bars

I just need to know what size tyres you would normally fit on standard GSi alloys. I am not going to be near the car for a few days but need to try order new rubber.

Get some low profile rubber. lower the profile the sharper the handling. 195/45/15 are probably your best bet.

as I said though, I am sticking with the standard 14's

this is not being built as a track car. just a car that can be taken to he track the odd time.

so what size do you normally fit for the standard 14's?
