Kris, when you were chopping and changing springs, did you just take the ones you didnt want back and swap them or did you have to buy more springs?

thx for the reply - heh, doesn't seem worth it tbh...

what about my 40mm Pi springs I have on there at the moment, do you think they'll look alright with 17s?

-60mm on 16s?

i had et 45 17's lowered 60mm and i had to do the above so i could actually carry any passengers without it rubbing,

1. that apex 60mm kit will sit higher at the back than you pi 40mm kit, so abandone that idea. apex 60's sat higher than my pi 35mm springs.

2. yes you will have major problems unless you remove the arch, cut the metal up about an inch, glue the arch back on, then fit longer bumpstops, this will stop all rubbing.

I'm currently thinking of getting a full Apex suspension kit to take my car down -60mm (it's down atm -40mm on Pi springs) and slapping on some nice 17 x 7.5 rims on with ET45 offset on my Corsa B SXi... Will I have any probs?

Cheers,
