The corsa sport i recently bought has been lowered by 60mm, and its causing me problem when going over speed bumps and pot holes (and believe me, its impossible to dodge them all where i live ;-).
I was thinking of highering it back up to standard but wondered if there are any other options??? as I think it looks tidy lowered!!
cheers all!

Where bouts is it scraping??
Maybe putting 40mm may solve the prob and you still get to have it lowered!

I got a 40mm drop atm and theres only one speedbump that my cat scrapes on.
All the other speedbumps in my area fine no probs, but theres only one that's a nuiscence.
Yea 35mm maybe even better, and it's eibach so can't go wrong there

Remove the middle box and you shouldnt have too much trouble with speed bumps just watch the flange where the cat joins because thats common to catch aswell

Mine's lowered 40mm and the only thing that catches is my front mudflaps on the odd speedbump, most aren't a problem and they only usually catch if I've got a passenger in

Put some 16's on it and it should sit higher from the ground.
