After much hassle trying to source an 18mm Deep Drop Ring Spanner for my front struts, I have now completed the lowering of my Corsa :D Set up is GSi shocks with full set of -35mm GMAX lowering springs

Before:

no offence lad but personally 35/40mm lowering is a waste of time in my opion still looks a little high. i definatly find 60mm to be the better option for handling and looks. unless u r thinking of putting on a kit and big rims..
here is a pic of mine lowered 60mm

:| imo, it is worth it, the area that I live in has lots of bumpy roads, speed humps, pot holes etc. I lowered it to improve handling (which it has) and also enhance the looks a bit. However, I also wanted to keep it practical - I quite often have a full car, and also as mentioned, my area\'s roads are a bit wank, so -35mm imo is ok?

35-40mm is perfect for the Corsa, especially on standard shocks as it gives the best all round effect.

I\'ve had 60mm on the front before and found it was too low and that was on 16s, so it would be even worse on standard alloys!
No more Corsa :(

Yeh, I did look around for quite a while at various peoples Corsa\'s and decided -35mm would be best - its kind of best compromise really :D Oh and they aren\'t standard alloys on the car - It is a Swing, my car is just beginning to look like a Sport/SRi though :lol:
