there ya go...15x7 195/50R15 wheels and a 50mm drop.

imo, its the perfect height.

btw, the kit has not been driven on yet, so will settle a little further than that.

Well, my suspension set up is worth about £550. But that's Bilstein B8 shocks and Spax SSX 50mm springs.

The springs were £80, and a set of G-Max or Spax shocks will be no more that £150-200.

thanks chrex :)
that does look the perfect height
think i will deffinately lower it 15mm and put 15"s on it now i have seen how good your looks
my corsa is arden blue, so think i may get white wheels for it :)
want to get the oz racing superturismo WRC alloys
hopefully it will look fair good

You can do that easily ... if you want to lower 50mm get wheels with the right offset ...i think et38 is right for 4 stud vauxhalls !! but basicly i have 15" by 6.5" wheels ... they sit inside just inside the arches .. i have mine lowered 40mm all round but because they are slim enough to get inside i could potentially drop it 60 or 70 mm .... what wheels do you have ???? .. a great choice are some cavalier gsi wheels .. which tuck up nicely ... ring demon tweeks they are really good for wheel info !!!!! 6.5's look really wide on a corsa but also you have the room to lower it ... If you want wider wheels than that only go for 14" or 13" wheels so you can still get it low !!!!
