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.

i've never herd of tht, and seen plenty of diesel corsas dropped on there arse's.

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,

nothing wrong with lowering a td

this was mine with a 1.7td lump in it

Never heard of a diesel being different to lower before? lol roperstun that picture is Phat! i like it alot low is the way to go lol Is that what you own now?
