Basically I've got the 40 VA 20L (60mm drop with springs and shocks) kit on my 1.6 sport which aint really meant for that lol.. backs fine, fronts possibly too low and looks a bit nose heavy

my idea? get some 40mm front only springs from the 40 VA 19 kit and hope the weight of my 1.6 and its stupid aircon will turn them into a 50mm drop.

so I was basically wondering if people who run gmax suspension kits (especially shocks and springs rather than just springs) can post some pics of their car, the drop, possibly the kit model so I can see how they all look to gimme an idea if im thinking in the right kinda way lol

pics of my car for example/comparison






a lil nose heavy and my 185/60x14 tyres catch on the fronts! got cav gsi rims going on (wider still) so need do something about it.

Is it a Corsa kit or Nova? What do you want it to be?
