The last one is just a piccy of how far my CAT is off the ground, not much clearence especially for speed bumps.

I am down 60mm on Pi 30% uprated shocks and GMax springs, looks lower now with my new tyres too. But I aint got any piccys like that.

Its a bumpy ride down 60mm but its worth it for looks and handling.

Cheeky Corsa do you find your suspension really really hard?? Really bumpy and bangs a lot when hitting little holes and stuff?? Just that I do........

I have the Gmax -60mm kit and 16" Speedlines on my Corsa.

PICS HERE

It can be pretty bumpy on rough roads.
But it looks great and handles better now too!
Not taken any recent pics of my car since before I got my exhaust. Might try to get some new pic's this weekend.

60mm is good if you get the righ5t lowering kit, mine is bumpy but I have to admit I made a bad choice with my shocks but thats all soon to change.

I wouldnt lower it until you have your rims on really, will look daft for one, also if your putting a kit on it depends what kit your putting on because on 15's dropped 60mm you could get no end of problems.

Im on steelies at the minute, lowered 70mm rear and 90mm front - its great and well comfy on coilovers. Just about to order 14 x 8J wheels with 40 profile tyres which will be overall a much smaller radius than the steelies! Now thats what you call ON the floor! Gonna have to cut the arches upwards to allow the 8" wide 14's on the rear as they will be seriousley out the arches, or raise it to 40/50mm drop on rear but they will still bump scrub me thinks... arrrgh! Oh yeah and if i fancied for shows I can lower the front another 40mm!! SLAM it!
