you cud more most people will tell you not to, the standard shocks arent designed to take tht cud of punishment so they wudnt last long and it wudnt be a very good ride. save up and get your self some uprated shocks.
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 :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

well mine scrapes occisionally on speed humps and it doesnt like farm tracks and fields at all, found out the hard way last week (hence why i need a new front bumper :lol: ) but aslong as you remember your drivin a lowered car u shud be ok. if your worried about it scraping i would say go 40mm and see how u get on.
