Apart from the obvious (vauxhall) does anybody know where I can source Corsa B GSi shocks and springs from? I have already posted a wanted ad on here but received no answers. Now thinking about buying brand new if nobody has a GSi setup they want to get rid of. Can anybody help? Thank Yaw

I have - no luck at the moment. Don't want to go as low as 40mm really and deffo not 60 - want to keep it pretty standard so thought GSi setup would be good for my Corsa "Swing"

its more of a 4x4 atm!!! itd lower it by bout 20mm from what it is atm, itd handle better, itd replace my shagged rear shox and also, becasue i live in a poxy rural area, i regularly have to drive down bumpy, broken back roads and dont fancy breaking my car by dropping it 40mm! And, also because so many peoplelower their GSi's, why doesnt anybody want to sell suspension that to them is as good as useless?!

this is not true, i had a 1.2 corsa and put gsi springs and shocks on at it made it very high, also my mate with a 1.2 corsa c put 1.8 sus on it and it made that even higher, the reason it is lower is due to the extra weight of the engine, so the car will be slightly more bumperer and handle better due to the higher pownedage (sp)the springs have
