lowering your car lowers the center of gravity, so makes it go round corners better. (in theory) A harder ride is one of the downfalls, cos the suspension doenst have as much travel. Invest in some decent suspension and you will definately see why people do it. I got a set of FK coilovers on, and i cant believe the difference it has made. Cornering feels so much more positive and responsive, ride is firm but very comfortable and it looks pretty low too. :thumbs:

mine is g-max full kit lowered 60mm
on 15's with 50 profile tyres
my cd player is fine
it handels spot on and let you know when it starts to loose grip
it doesnt just let go on you

i love the way it handles and rides the roads
and will take all the speed bumps ive come across

You have fitted bumpstops havent you... :o

Either that or your running a sony player :lol:

get something half decent and the ride will be adjustable, still firm but you can choose how firm

i will be selling my apex -40mm kit very soon, not to hard at all, but handling is improved.

just get some decent suspension and it will be better, is always gonna be more bumpy cos there less play in suspension.

fax2004 what make are they? not avos by any chance?

:lol:

see your post dude, not hijackin this un :D

Sorry sue jus checked tha cat that i wos gonna buy dem from n it wos apex sports kit not spax! so u think i shuld go for tha 60mm 1s??

ive heard so, tay_lor on here has got 40mm ones for sale i think, was gunna ave em myself but got fed up of my rumbly awkward gearbox and oil leak, so sorting that:thumbs:

So suz do u think i shuld go for apex insted?

both "budget" aint they heard that apex are the better budget jobs ? but i dunno myself

im finkin a buyin nu dampers n springs to lower tha car by 60mm, spax or g max 1s do u no much bout them, quality of build, ride, etc?? both bout £200!!

fcuk nos. i swapped them for my standard sri ones and 20 quid. His g/f didnt like look of car, so wanted putting backto normal. i no him btw, not just some dodgy geezer!

dats y u should buy stuff new! wot 1s are they?

upside out check my post bout suspension n tell me wot u fink m8:thumbs:

bout 3 weeks, bought them 2nd hand tho, and they looked about 6 months old

How long have they been fitted??

Its got uprated shox on front, but standard at rear. Its harsh at the front more than back

If uve jus got lowerin springs on oe shocks tha ride will be uncomfortable!! u really need a full kit!

have you just fitted springs or uprated shocks also?

Ive lowerd my Corsa 40mm, and the only good thing ive noticed is it looks better. But, my cd player skips when i go over a leaf, everything squeeks and rattles, the ride is totally uncomfortable. Why do people do it?
