1 hour per spring :! :lol: What are they, fecking blind! :lol: I'd deffo go elsewhere!

And nope, no scrubbing at -40mm on 16"s but there's loads of space still so I'd say it'd be ok with 17"s too TBH

Right just rang my local garage and asked how much it would cost to fit some springs if I bought them and they said, it will take 1 hour per spring at a cost of £20 an hour so that meens a total of £80.... Is this a rip off and can I gwt it cheaper somewhere else you reckon??

There's a fair few types of springs available for the Corsa C TBH.

I've got Apex -40mm ones as they were cheap - £76 from http://www.pvdnet.co.uk

I wouldn't imagine you'd have any problems with scrubbing either, these arches are hooooge :D

As for fitting, any local garage should be able to do it - I paid £50 to get mine fitted.

Right Im getting my 17s put on my Corsa C today, and loads of people have been saying it will feel like a monster truck unless I lower it, and will look crap, SO........

Firstly - is this true??

Secondly - how much should I lower it?? I still want to avoid scrubbing/scatching and be able to get people in the back and bags in the boot without problems.., and I meen no problems at all :p

Lastly - what lowering springs shall I get?? How much and where from?
(please post links if you can), Also need to get them fitted, where??

Thanks Guys :thumbs:
