On a Corsa if you lower past say 45/50mm your drive shafts bend the wrong way. The drive shafts as standard are like this / \ (only obviously not as steep as that), when you lower say 35mm, they go straight _ _ then when you go 60mm they bend the oposite way \ / which causes the drive shafts to actualy pop out. Uprated sports dampers are shortened so you don't get this effect. I know a lad who used to have an AX GT, he lowered his torsion bar about 80/90mm on standard shocks and his drive shafts poped out 3 times in 1 week. | |

if u get just springs then they all depend on how long they last with ur driving. | |

If u are lowering 60mm it is ALWAYS recommended to buy shocks and springs. | |

i would give them anywhere between a cuple of months to a year. Depending on the condition of the shocks. You may find that they will fail after a week! | |
