bang the arches out with a hammer a bit, (because they're under the plastic trim no-one will see) also what will make the most difference is putting on stiffened shocks! that will make a world of difference, it certainly has to my car anyway!!!
TURBO LAG IS JUST FOREPLAY ;)

ur arches and suspention aint the problem, its the wheels they will be the wrong offset. i had team dynamics pro race 2's on mine and it rubbed like fock.

either put up with it or change your alloys.

goin at thr arches with a hammer wont help much. ur gona be banging away for hours and u'll probly create sharpe edges or sumit. if dont want to change you alloys get your arches profeshionally rolled

the offset for corsa needs to be between 45-49et but if you want to lower it 60mm or more it has to be 49et.

there are only a handfull of alloys with the offset of 49et. but standard vauxhall ones do have an offset of 49et.

thats why wen ever you see a corsa lowered 60mm or more they either have vauxhall alloys or the same alloys as every other corsa thts been lowered tht much
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!

Suspension is the thing that separates your bum from the road .There two type of suspension one is coiled spring and other is shock absorbers .Go for coil spring suspension that will good for your car.
