I lower my Corsa b yesterday using a Nova 40mm kit (shocks and springs) and is sitting quite high, anyone got any ideas to why this is? I was told a Nova 40mm lowering kit would lower by about 50mm. Any help would be grate.

Here's two pictures off how my Corsa is after fiitng my Nova lowering kit.

took probably a week or so. If you bought them brand new then just leave them a bit to settle in it will probably drop a bit more
