just went mad with 17's.

dig dave, just start by removeing the rear arch bolts, this solves most of it on 16's. just do more if u need to, i ran 16's for a year without doin anymore than this, was fine with 3 people in car.

best for handling is 25mm drop, but to be honest i doubt u will notice much difference.

handling doesnt improve with the lower your car goes. Handling is improved by decent shocks n springs, which depends on what you need them for. 40mm would be better then 60mm though, but 60mm will look fat

but speedo's go inaccurate at that speed so it was more like 99/100 if it was to be recorded properly.

yeah i had a 40mm/16'' setup on my corsa 1.2 8v. handles like a go-kart!!
and as for the 100mph. the corsa will do 90mph on a straight road, i had mine down a 3mile hill on the motorway, a gale behind me, and my induction kit sucking in loads of cold air (december night), and i saw 108mph.

Yes Dan, all that is needed is a Corsa 1.2 8v in good working condition and a fuck off big hill.

Dave

that sound like a prety good set up
thats what i want but my car is a 5 door so will need a bit of rear arch mods

1.2 8v doing a ton?! ...

I'm dropped 40mm on 16"s with 195/45 tyre. I reckon this is the best set up for a corsa which is gonna b used every day!

*All rims go straight on, with out ANY arch work
*Rims just front arches nicely, and rears sit slightly inside
*Not too bumpy ride either
*Performance remains reasonable (Can still pull a ton in a 1.2 8v with this set up)
*Combat front still got decent clearence for speed bumps etc.

Matt

right do i need to change owt then apart from oviously the springs, and get the tracking done?? cos im on 40mm at the moment and we back seats out looks even higher...

handling i doubt would make that much of a dif, but as sporty said, u might wana get the tracking done if on 60mm drop

40 otherwise it will fvck it up more than owt unless u get it setup prop . eg...sort camber out

60mm if its springs and shock will handle better.

40mm will probably handle better

60mm. 40mm 2 high

60mm, springs and shocks

cheeeers:D
