Ive got hold of a spax suspension kit and wondered if i need to do anything with the brake balance valve that is fitted to the rear axle?Ive been told that i might need to extend it using a fabricated bracket.Any ideas from anyone who has slammed their corsa b would be cool.Cheers

From what i've read on here and experience, it won't be fine.

When i lowered my sport 40mm, i had problems with the rear brakes locking up well too soon.

You need to slacken off the valve as when the car is lowered it thinks it has weight in the back. Which it doesn't, hence the locking of brakes.

Have a search for bias valve. You should get some info from that.

the brake bias valve is a self adjusting valve on most cars
