Well this is 100mm on 15s -



So dont know where your other 9cm drop is.....

And as Warren says its no good for shocks, you need proper uprated shocks which match the springs.

The 190 is just what my mate got told they wee as they were custom made springs and comparing them to the 60's it looked feasable (sp).
Its only a corsa so stuff uprated shocks

but there wont be ANY movement in the springs as the dampers will be fully compressed! so effectively there is no suspension. good luck in the wet or when you hit a nasty bump mid corner.

oh god.......

so when you smash into an oncoming car with a family in it you are going to blame what exactly? your lack of driving skill, the useless suspension or the fact you car is more on your insurance policy than it is really worth?

Chill i'm only joking. Fact is i have raised it back to the original 60 at the moment till we modify the arches more.
I might be slightly wild but i'm not stupid and never been dangerous.

There doesn't look to be any movement for them springs to compress.

Has anyone got a photo of their 100mm or 90mm spings not fitted?

Now thats an 100mm spring. from experience anything below 100 is a tad pointless. it will just bottom out, and thats on shortened shocks.

So looking at that picture mine must be 190mm. It is bottomed out but a bit of modifying and we will sort it so its right. Proven to the doubters
