Bought these shocks for my corsa b off a member on corsasport, and tried to fit them with help from jr but rears were too small so they are nova shocks.

Ive heard about people putting them on their corsa but am unsure how its done.

I will get pics up if theres intrest.

ontop of the threded part of the shock shaft you have the flatend part to use a 6mm ? spanner to hold the shaft whilst you do the nut up

this is much much smaller than the standard shock, and smaller than any corsa shocks ive got

when you put the nut on there isnt enough (or any material) to hold onto before the shock shaft spins with the rotaion on the nut
