I got -40mm Apex springs and shox on my GSI, it lowers 40mm at the front but has only dropped the back 20mm ish and thats with ICE that weighs as much as a person, gonna change to G-max 60mm springs once me new engine is in and im on 17's

quick sub question - whats wrong with apex kits? was thinking of getting one cos im on a budget - iv already got 17"s and wanna lower it 40 mm this month

Had some done at vauxhall for £120 or something went to Local garage and got arches cut back and full suspension kit fitted all for £30!!!!!!!

I was quoted £100+ for my springs and shocks. Hopefully a mate is helping me tomorra though.

Thats a tad expensive:)

Vauxhall want £100 to fit irmscher springs to my car.

i payed my mechanic £30 to lower mine

Sweet, Seems like i got a good deal there then.
Id get suspension done first before wheels because itll look like a tractor otherwise:)

Hopefully the bilsteins will lower a true 40mm rather than my old Apex springs, and the handling will be far superior

I'd say £78 was a damn bargin,
I've known people pay about £90 to have lowering springs fitted.
If you were to do it yourself doesn't a spring compressor cost about £30 anyway.

yeah suspension, there is nothing worse that an unlowered corsa on 17's although it seems like that on my GSI with the new Apex suspension, bloody apex dont lower any where near the amount they quote

suspension

Would you do suspension first or 17's?

I would say that was a pretty good quote mate, i would still fit them yourself then get the tracking done for £20 saving a bit of cash its an easy job i changed the whole suspension on my GSI about 2 weeks ago + disks + seats + Drums etc get stuck in its so much better to be able to say you did it yourself

£78 for shocks and springs, and to sort tracking...
