	I have apex 40mm on mine, they drop a bit more than 40mm. But the ride is fine and the handling is greatly improved. Also as far as my up to date Apex brochures go they don't make a full kit for a Corsa C yet.

	quote: Originally posted by chris_uk as most of you knwo my car need lowerin to look any good! im getting some -40mm apex springs.. would i be able to just fit these without uprated shocks? wiv my 17's on or would they bottom out 2 much?? would the handling be different?? are they easy to fit?? i had them onmy corsa c comfort and had no problems at all. The sxi shocks are slightly stiffer so u will be fine.

	i was gunna get a set of -40mm apec springs n shocks.. but these springs were cheap so i thought about buying the shocks after wards.

	goldpenguin had koni's on his and i think they were good, about 250 for a set.
chris_uk	posted on 27th Mar 04 at 20:00
	ok. cheers m8, so what shocks would i need then??
Marc D	posted on 27th Mar 04 at 19:51
	if you fit lowered sprigs with standard shocks, the shcoks wear out very fast, doesnt handle very well. you should get uprated shocks as well
