ahh so it will lower 45mm!!!! bugger

right i am soon to recive -60mm spings to replace the crap Apex -40mm spings i got, i bought the full apex springs and shox kit and it just aint low enough.
Any way the springs arnt for a GSI which i got so will it lower -75mm?????
I is confused too

I think whats trying to be said about the GSI thing..

If you put a -50 (for a gsi) it will be 50mm lower than a GSi.. If you put the same kit on a 'normal' corsa it would lower 65mm as the GSI is already 15mm lower..

If you put a non Gsi -50 on a Gsi, it will only lower 35 as the GSI is already 15mm lower than a 'normal' corsa

i had Pi springs on my old nova, they were quality!

Do Eibach not make springs for corsa's?

These are well known as being quality springs, whereas PI are very variable.

dont understand about the gsi thing. surely if the gsi's have -15 as standard it wont make no difference after he has taken em off and put new suspension on anyway :boggle:

but if u put a -50mm kit on say a 1.2 corsa, and put both cars side by side, they would be the same in lowness

oh ok, i get you, but the standard springs and shocks on my car are what make it 15mm lower than other corsas...... so if i took of the shocks and springs completely and put on the new shocks and springs which are 50mm it would lower 50mm and not 15mm less or more?

kits are allways cheeper than if u buy items seperatly, its the same for everything

and yer gsi is 15mm lower anyway

gsi are 15mm lower anyway so a 40mm kit is actually 55mm lowered on a standard corsa :)

oh rite! i get it now, so its PER shock then!
so it does work out cheper to get the Full kit then :rolleyes:

but lowest i can find is a 40mm kit,

so to get it lower i will have to get seperate springs and shocks right?

so would PI 50mm springs go well with Koni top adjustable shocks?

cheers guys

:thumbs:

there u go

erm koni top adjustable shocks cost 95 quid EACH for a front shock.

u sure its not 140 per 1 shock?

im interested in a 40mm KONI top adjustable Full suspension kit with bumstops, for my Corsa Gsi, cheapest ive found is about 315 quid!

works out cheaper to buy e.g 50mm set of PI springs for about 80 quid
and top adjustable Front and Rear Koni shocks seperatley for 140 quid....a total of 220quid :D

so it really cheaper this way?
is their a catch or reason for full suspension kits costing so much and am i forgetting anything???

also the lowest full suspension kit for the Gsi is only a 40mm full kit so if i do it as above i can have my car lower at 50mm

wat u reckon guys
