Right.I'm fitting some spax front coilovers and rear adjustables later on in the week along with some speedlines.the rear springs on the struts are nova -60mm springs which will probs sit a little bit lower than 60mm on the corsa.will i be alrite to have the front coilovers passed the -60mm mark a little because ive been told i'll need spacers due to the size of the coilover strut? can someone help please as i'm worried it mite rub?  cheers

it only rubed a tiny bit on the inner arch liner, it made itself enough clearance doing so, it was fine afterward's..

i have got speedlines and spax coilovers, on my old corsa it was a 1.2 i need the spacers, but on my corsa now which is a 1.6 i had to cut the arches as they were rubbing and i had to adjust my front coilovers as it was 2 low probably cus of the weight differance between the 1.2 and 1.6 engine but i didnt have to use the spacers. it is quiet close tho but doesnt rub. it all depends how low u r tryin to go with it ??? i thin mine were 3mm spaces when i used them. just put the on and c how close it is to it
