lol, ok i suppose it could av been worse, but its not exactly been a gud 1, im not sure what im doing with the springs as i may leave the rear at 60mm, will have to see how it goes

If only that was as bad as a weekend gets!

Is it just me but im on Kosei RG's 205-40-17 and the back sits nicely, but the front looks higher than me on a saturday night. Its a 1.2 8v so the engine is pretty light is that the main cause?

are you selling your springs then mate? im after some 60mm rears

brad, guess what, my new 17s r dare X1s, and gmax full kit, think im just gonna change the front to 40mm, and see how the back is, then decide whether or not to change to 40mm on rear on stay at 60mm, cheers for the info matey

yeh i had this problem on my old corsa! i had dare x1's et45 with falken tyres with a low sidewall, had a 60mm gmax kit, the tyres were so tight in the arches, i cud only get bout 1/4 lock and no supsension, so i changed to 40mm kit, which sat them in nicely at the front and 60mm at the back! was nice and level all round

oh and craig, cheers mate but ive already paid

i got gmax full set up on there tyres ive got are avons, 205/40/17,i know that not the problem, like i sed, its supposed to be 60mm, but it as dropped lower im sure of it

Mike you aint dropped 60mm if your tyre is touching, it would be approx 75mm drop. Are your bumpstops still alive? What brand of springs were you using?

im thinking its all about the tyre size you have on there!

You sure they are et45. i have the same fitment and mine is lowered 60mm.

Did you check on the underside of the wheel. Also what size of tyres are they. 205/40/17's is what you need.

Also i could have had you the springs next day courier service. If you want i can have u springs but tomorrow morning.

well my arch is physically touching the tyre so not much i can do

I got same offset was 40mm but not low enough slammed it 60mm no problem, even with an engine in the boot and alloy up in the arch it dont scrub

et45, 7x17

What offset are the wheels?

I can think of many worse possible weekends.

lucky i jsut read this cos i was gonan get a 60mm set of springs this week, look sliek i will b gettin 40mm now

right, friday about 2pm, 17s arrive, i had 15s before and its lowered 60mm, ive always sed my front end had gone much lower, now ive proved it. so i take the 15s off and the buyer hands over the cash and strolls off with them, so on go the 17s, drop the jack down on the front end and the arches drop and keep dropping until the arch sits on the tyre!!!

so i didnt even try and move it, decided my only option is the front end needs raising, so 1st thing sat morning i go to see if i can get some 40mm springs, went for Gmax as i can keep the shocks i got with them deffo. so the dude at the shop says he will get em in by wednesday for me, wednesday!!! so i have to wait until wed night b4 they can go on.

so every1 who says 17s r ok down 60mm on the front end, no it aint!!!

:(
