jsut dropped the corsa 60 mm instead of the 40 mm with a full gmax kit and lovin the difference. I have a slight scrub going round corners from left hand front wheel when i have 2 people in but not touched arches yet, will have a look when its light. got a nasty thud from rear when i hit big bumps so guess ill just have to slow down/avoid these. defo recommend -60 + 16". will post pics soon

stupid...

Best for handling is 15" and a drop of 35-40mm.

Any sort of contact with arches is not good esp a thud.... Imagine what that would do to the balance of the car when cornering.... now speed the corner up, and add a little water. Hello Hedge/Wall/Kid .

i agree

ive recently fitted a eibach kit to the gf's corsa, was a bit dubious about any 'real' benefits in the handling. To my suprise it handles sooo well id say nearly as well as my bilstein tarmac rally-spec set-up!

The thud will be your exhaust on the rear axel, just need to twist it or the clamp

it looks good (in some folks opinion) but does not handle as well as a more sensible drop.

15's are better for a corsa... i know he has 16's
