I would go for a 40mm drop, should stop you from getting any major problems, if you do then because of the distance between the arch and the wheel a bit of work may need to be done or just when you are carrying people then go slower. | |

a kit comprises of shock absorbers and springs which are made for each other, as using aftermarket springs on GM/vaux shocks will fuck the shocks in no time, then u will have to upgrade - worth gettin the matching shocks at the same time if possible | |

i have std shocks, 16" wheels with 195/45/16 tyres, lowered 40 mm on pi springs, ride is ok, not to hard, and not to bouncy either. | |

Due to the wrong offset of the wheels you'll need arch work to avoid rubbing.Get a full kit(dampers&springs) if you can afford it,cause as far as i know the uprated dampers are more stiff then the original corsa ones and the ride quality will be much better.A lot of people on here use the Gmax kit(250 quid i think).i.e. My friend drives a corsa with BBS 15inch alloys(ET38),koni adjustables and eibach springs.He had to set the dampres in hard mode in order to avoid the rubbing against the rear arches,and he still gets some rubbing going over bumps and when he drives people in the back. | |
