im curious to know what you guys think look the best in terms of lowering a corsa b?

should they be dragging/

should the sit just top of the tyres?

or should they remain standard factory height?

all corsas a see look amazing lowered but there is a small margine for me when it becomes to low.

what we reckon?

Post this in general chat mate.

I prefer the car to look level.So prefer the rear to sit half over the tyre and the front to sit ontop of the tyre.

Moved.

I personally don't like them too low, looks broken. Plus it'll handle better if you don't go too crazy.

Option 2. Looks better, more practical and will drive better. No need to go any lower.

-60mm all round is a perfect subtle height and is practical enough.

45mm

looks good, still has travel (to compress strut when you hit a bump etc), handles better than 'on the bump stops'

I lowered my first one 60-80mm and in hingsight it was terrible to drive

If we're flopping out photos...



Fronts bought down about another 5-10mm and the rear rased about the same now

Cheers for pics chris and comments! I want extra extra low Gaz coilies for Christmas But the misses aka the boss.. Said am getting a lump of coal I like my cars/corsas slammed on rear but that's my opinion.. But depends what you use your car for is the biggest question if your tracking it I'd say 40/60mm drop if you are dragging it.. arse up as Jedward says!!
Mines 80mm front with custom springs on spax shocks and rear 100mm custom springs on spax rear shocks handles great and not to Bouncy.

They look terrible with standard suspension in my opinion lol

I had 60mm on 14" sport wheels and thought it was close to perfect. Could have done with some shortened shocks tho lol
