no get nova springs all round m8, the only difference is the poundage of the springs. he front seems to sit at a similar height for both types (corsa/nova) but the rear sits a good deal lower with nova springs.

i got full apex 60mm kit for a corsa, the fornt actually loweres 60mm but the back didnt go anywhere near, more like 30mm as it sat higher than my old 35mm springs. so i changed the bk springs for pi 60mm ones, nowe it sits level :D

posted on 10th Jun 03 at 13:27

Well someone i know has the -60mm corsa springs and its not really any lower than mine at the back???

60mm corsa springs will be better, 60mm nova springs will have a lesser poundage & more likely lower it 70mm

I have my car lowered 40mm on an Apex kit:-



The front is nearly low enuff for me, so i am getting FK -10mm down mounts to lower it another 10mm.

Now the rear is nowhere near low enuff. Bearing in mind i am keeping the Apex front springs, what rear springs should i get as a replacement?? I was thinking Apex -60mm Nova springs??

Will the car still handle good with the back 'lower' than the front??
