I know this has been asked many times but please bear with me. I'm runnin 17" Dare V2's and dont know whether to drop 30mm or 40mm, also dunno wat makes to use??? If you have lowered your car any of these amounts please let me know wat springs uve got in and wat ur experience of scrubbage etc is. Also sometimes 30mm actually lowers closer to 40mm (and 40 closer to 50) so let me kno if this has happened with ur make as well.

Thanks a lot

Matt

depends if the corsa is a basic model or if its an sxi /sri etc?

as the sxis have sligtly stiffer shox, which prevents the springs from saggin an goin lower.

i got apex 40mm springs, 17" dare v2s with yoko 205/40s and i had to remove the arch bolts and bond the arches on as it scrubbed on them with ppl in the back.

apex spring or sports kit 40mm will do the job nicely, and you shoudlnt get any rubbing at all.

we do both kits and cs members get discounts

01563 555923 is the info line
