not a corsa C but i have 60-mm Gmax springs for aCorsa b.. when they were fitted to my ca rthey were pretty decent for ride quality and handling i could fling the car into a corner and it would come out the corner like it hadnt went round one!!

on the other hand my ex had her megane lowered -40mm it handled worse then your average tescos shopping trolly!


Gmax are the best set up you can buy for less than £300

do you go up the retail park by anychance?? seen a few C's up there lately what colour and reg is yours? and what wheels you got on?

It aint black and running on TSW Reflex's is it???

eibach only do 35mm spring and are made to go with the standard shocks and then there is also Apex springs that will drop your C 40mm! If you have the extra money i would go for the Eibachs!

Apex i believe say they'll lower the car 400mm but i believe it's on 30-35mm they actually lower it...

Icy you knew the guy that owned my corsa before it was kitted eh??? if so Ask him why he never cut the f**king bumpstops when i took the rear springs off the rear bumpstops were far too close to the arm..

what would be the best springs for a 40mm drop, the eibach ones only do a 30mm drop

imo id save for coilovers
£370 isnt bad compared to a spring/shock kit for around £200
can lower as much as u want think theyre 50-70
