But

you cant buy lenso VL2s anymore as Kahn took them to ocourt about the designs and they won so Lenso stopped making them and with drew them from sale

The ride is firmer and better when cornering, I get no rubbing at all even with a full load up and haven't modded the arch's at all :D

The wheels aren't Kahns, but the cheaper alternative Lenzo VL2's and for 17's with Yoko tyres I paid £750 which was the best price they good do :thumbs:

Eibach -35 mm, koni shocks, Eibach anti roll kit, sparco front upper brace and OMP rear brace. It handles a lot better but the ride is awful.
I think i'm going to try whiteline springs (aussie); poly bushes, camber and castor kit, special rear shims to decrease rear camber and lower strut brace and another brace (weld) for the rear suspension
Try Whiteline site www.whiteline.com.au this guys are suspension gurus and have a complete kit for the corsa:thumbs:

yeah about that...
i got adjustable front and rear koni's for 290. plus fitting you're looking around 350 ish +/-.
well worth the money as you can fly round corners so much better with minimal body roll.

i had just springs on my corsa c, but i was unhappy with the amount of bounce they give. going over speed bumps or any other kinda dips in the road caused my car to act like a yoyo. i now have a full suspension setup and handling is better than ever. although this is obviously a bit more expensive, in the long run i wont have to change the dampers again.
definately recommend full kit rather than just springs.

wher bouts did u get them fitted?


got me fitted at ma fadas mates garage.

wheels are 17" dare v2s on offset of 45mm.

cos the car came down a lot more than it was supposed to , i had to remove the arch bolts cos it would catch when i took anyone in the back.

I'm plannin on just gettin springs just now n was hopin that the other C owners out ther cud tel me wot like ther car is now its lowered, type of springs, how it handles, how much it cost etc

Thanks for any help
