Ive just Xe'd my corsa b and the exhaust is standard 1.2 8v apart from backbox. what sort of exhaust do i need to free up some of the power that is clearly being held back?

Also i was on -60mm jamex suspension and the car patters like mad on the road scraping on the arches what sort of suspension and drop will i need to correct this issue?

Many thanks in advance as i genuinly am a bit puzzled.

i belive ashley do a bolt on exhaust for the c20xe corsa.

Or get one custom made? there was also one in classfieds forsale.

Even a gsi system would be better than the 8v

As for sus, you need a higher poundage spring to take the extra weight!
Look into coilovers or a good spring and danpener set up

coilovers are adjustable yes there the best option give a better ride than springs and shocks and you can adjust to suit your needs also dropped alot in price too, as for a zorst keep your eyes peeled on here and ebay for a 2nd hand system

You will need at least 2" bore for it to go like a valver should.Anything less than 2" and as said,it will be strangled.
