Re: Corsa B 1999
Just a little update put the exhaust on hold for the moment and ordered some 60/40 lowering springs for her because as mentioned the gap is shocking high away from the wheel's measured it all up so the 60/40s should work a treat!

I got them from motorsportworld preformance mate on the internet and there spax springs bud.. i thought id put the exhaust on hold as the wheel arch gap is bugging me haha.. so decided to get the springs once there fitted going to look into the exhaust been looking at janspeed systems cat back and some twin poo (peco) thought a single 3inch round stainless tip would look better than a pair of twin DMT'S?

Re: Corsa B 1999
Dan: can you upload a pic once the car has settled back down with the new wheels? Trying to decide whether it`ll be best to do wheels and suspension at the same time.. or whether it`ll be ok for a while with 15`s and standard height.

Re: Corsa B 1999
what do you mean do wheels and suspension at same time? if he drives it around a wee bit then itl defo go down a bit mate, but wont go down loads, it wouldnt really matter if he does both of them at the same time tbh

Re: Corsa B 1999
Yeah i know what you mean but when i jacked it up didnt do it below the suspension so it lifted it right up reason for the height in arch gaps but if you see it now i reckon it has settled quite abit pics up in a secjordyp wrote:what do you mean do wheels and suspension at same time? if he drives it around a wee bit then itl defo go down a bit mate, but wont go down loads, it wouldnt really matter if he does both of them at the same time tbh
