Finished it of today then fitted, been for a spin and IT WORKS!

I wasn't expecting much tbh but I can deffo tell the difference, back end feels tight and when going flat out on round abouts it just hangs on!

Like I said, the one I just made fits a Corsa C ONLY (must have no rear seats either otherwise wont fit)

I would need to have a look at the Corsa B setup and see how I can make one
