I have a 1.5td corsa, i have been told not to lower it anymore than 40mm as it is a diesel.. is this true, if so why? as i want to lower it 60mm.

Pheww

Apparently it will pop the drive shaft out.. how i dunno lol something to do with the deisel car being heavyer than a petrol.. do the lowering springs have to be scpecifically for a diesel car or is petrol springs ok?

the petrol ones should be fine mate, as all b's are pretty much the same, just try get springs that can handle the weight of the engine, should be fine though as people drop c20xe's in there cars on lowering springs and shocks,
