Seems strange Dave! Especially with it being on 16s. My 12v was as low as my sport and I never had any clearance problems whatsoever!:!

The flexi-pipe on my exhaust scraped when it was down 60mm so I think that's low enough tbh :lol: It only hangs a couple of mm lower than the sump!

Cheers mate. Nah never had any rubbing whatsoever. The wheels on it are proper Vauxhall wheels, have an offset of ET49, perfect for corsas. The problem I have is that the 4-1 manifold is about an inch from the ground! lol

-60mm all round is perfect height for a corsa any lower than that the ride will be harsh.

I would highly recommend the Bilstein B10 kit which iv just fitted to mine and is worth the £330 price tag all day long very firm ride imo :)

Any chance to post up some pics :P lol.

Mine is about 80mm front and 100mm rear, unsure as it's on coilovers.

what ever alloys you like mate obviously original vauxhall wheels will be best coz of the offset less likely to rub

thets 50mm front and 60mm rear but sits nice i think,and as dave says the bigger your budget the better quality kit you will get for you money

Assuming you mean Corsa B here.

My old one was lowered 60mm on Apex shocks and springs, not a bad kit for the money but a pretty hard ride.



When it comes to suspension you get what you pay for so the bigger your budget the better. If you can't afford much then you will be better off saving for a bit longer and getting a better kit. It's advisable not to go down the cheapest route of springs on standard shocks, unless they're less than 40mm and a good brand.

Have a look on venommotorsport.com, they have a good range and great prices.
