HOW LOW WILL I LOWER MY CORSA?

Post by EAT-SLEEP-CORSA »

Hi there EAT-SLEEP-CORSA here to help out thoses corsa b owners who just cant deside how much to lower there corsa. Ill start with the types of springs u can get there ar 40mm lowerin springs, 60mm lowerin springs and coilovers 20MM - 110MM. To start 40mm lowerings ar the cheapest around 60-80 quid and they will save u buyin new shocks as the standered shocks will do, 60mm lowerings ar around 80-100 quid but your standered shocks with 60mm lowerings will be too bouncey and will ruin your standerd shocks so addin the price of new harden shocks with ur 60mm lowerings will cost around 170-250 quid which is a lot of money, coilovers then come around at 300 quid u may or may not need new shocks ive seen coilover kits with new hardened shocks included for up to a 1000 quid serious money if u ave it. I know corsas look the best droped on there bums but 60mm may be too much for some people as they may not hve the money or its to low for where they live thats why coilover come in handy so realy its all about what you can afford and ur livin area i hope this quick lowering guide helps some people deside how much to lower there corsa knowing this helped me out im at the moment savein up for 60mm lowering springs as i tink corsas look the best droped to the ground anyway here ar pictures of corsas on 40s, 60s lowering springs:

Lowered 40mm allround.

Lowered 60mm allround looks serious!!!

And please to all thoses corsa owners who ar half tinking of choping there standered springs DONT!!! it makes the car off balance and there is a danger of the spring flying off while driving so please DONT!! its not wort it and trust me if u wait to buy thoses lowering spring u will be delighted by the look and be saying i cant belive i was tinking of choping the spring :)

NOTE: car may not drop straight away after putin on the lowering springs the car just need a chanch to drop on it own.

that silver one on softstars is a damm sight lower than 60mm that is a fact, more like 120mm rear 100mm front for a guess, plus for some reason it looks photoshopped to me :?
