Re: 60 mm lowering springs
from what ive learnt from here....and my haynes max power book on corsa -
springs are ok temporarily really, they can cause probs later on because the standard springs are designed to work in harmony with the existing shockers
A full kit is a better option but it is more pricey, will indeed improve your ride more aswell as looking cool

Re: 60 mm lowering springs
your stand shocks are designed to work with ur standard spings. once u lower ur car 60mm ur standard shocks hav alot less movement and wont last long at all.
get a full kit.

OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts
Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

Re: 60 mm lowering springs
i would say dont do it, as your dampers and aeverything are designed for stock springs
however you can drop it 40mm max on stocks as long as you dont mess around too much with speed bumps and pot holes
i mean ive got a 1993 LS 1.4 and ive dropped her 40mm for about 6 months and no problems
good place to look is ebay for cheap springs

Re: 60 mm lowering springs
3 seems a bit few coils tbh m8 - b4 i smashed my corsa up i had juyst bought some 50mm lowering springs and they had like 5 or 6 coils i believe. id get them checked by a professional tbh - just run it 2 a garage and get them 2 check it.... they might not be 60mm springs anyway - they could be like 80mm ones
and as for the 60mm springs n shocks check ebay or try the huge classifieds on corsasport.com . theres usually a set going sumwhere on there
