i have those wheels and springs and i find them to be a bit flexible - only time they rub though is when there is people in the back - ok otherwise!

Sorry i was totaly wrong, (i was still sufering hangover when i wrote previous message). I actualy have apex struts and chassis dynamics springs. I got em from PVD where they recomended this combination. They said the chassis dynamic springs are a lot better and that they would split the kit for me for no extra charge! Top lads! the car handles soooo f'in sweet.
said something about the way the car sits? cant remember for sure cos it was ages ago. Anyway, give em a bell see if they will do the same for you!

yeah they said that the corsa springs are a bit pants and only lower it about 25mm, so they gave me the 40mm nova springs!
they r good at PVD, they know what they r on about

My corsa is lowered 40mm at front and 50mm at rear. Even with 16"s (205/50) tyres, and with 4 people inside, i've never had rubbing. The wheels are 49mm offset tho - which i have to say, helps loads.
Now i've changed to 195/45 tyres, even more space!

I have the full APEX -40mm kit,was fitted a couple of days ago and its good, handles nice and not too solid, but like u guys say dont lower much. Mine is an SRi and it lowered the back y bout 5mm and the front by 15mm ish.
Thats good for me tho as i have 7.5" wide alloys and they rub all the time now even without rear seat passengers, and debolting the archs will make no difference to meas the tyre/wheel is too wide to fit inside. Just have to save for arch work Oh well.
