Thinking about getting another corsa, and just looking for a bit of advice.
I previously owned a sport, which was fitted with spax coilovers. I needed spacers on the front to stop rubbing on the inside of the tyre. My friend also owned a sport, which was fitted with gaz coilovers. He did not need any spacers. Both cars were fitted with speedline 2's.
I will be buying coilovers again if I get another sport. I notice there are now sets that can be picked up for around £200 (ebay). Which, if any, of these cheap sets will enable maximum lowness without the need for spacers?
Thanks all

Maximum lowering on the front, ie. less likely to scrub without the spacers?

Look at the front of mine - It's absolutely fine and doesn't even rub under hard cornering.

the camber adjustment is the thing you need to sort, some coilovers have adjustement and others don't.
either that or just use spacers, it's not rocket science

you can change it slightly usinn the two bolts that bolt the shock to the hub.
did my mates last year and the wheel was touching the strut so loosened the bolts and pulled it out a bit and it was fine.
