As titiled, if I lower my standard corsa say 40mm all round, do you really need to replace the shocks etc, not just the springs.

Any helps please would be good.

u can get away with standard shocks on 40mm, but uprating your shocks will make a world of difference

in an ideal situation you would buy both & get them both replaced at the same time. but for those who cant afford to shell out that much, then the easiest way is to get the springs then save up for the shocks and then replace them a few months down the line
