just wondering how far you can lower a corsa b without having to do any mods ? id like to go to 60mm will that be ok ? 15inch alloys, prob cav slabs, and will 60 be ok to drive about with, (speedbumps) ? advice would be appreciated

Can go as low as you want with cav slabs if you got 195/45/15 tyres :) and 60mm is perfect :) loads of speed bumps around my area just got to take it a bit slower :thumbs:

yep if you keep to vauxhall wheels they're the correct offset so you can go as low as you desire,

60mm would be alright on wrong offset wheels i have non vauxhall brand alloys on mine and the only time it it catches is once you get 2 people in the back lol :D

mines 60 back, 40 front. scrapes every where, bear in mind your engine weight. you dont want to be ripping your splitter off everywhere, i cant go in some multi-story car parks, but, in all fairness, if you love the low look its well worth it. just dont forget to check your splitter once youve finished your journey. i always have to clip mine back on.

Mine is 60/60 and I can go everywhere and do anything and it's fine :) just need the correct offset wheels
