I'll play between the two, it doesn't take long to change a set of springs on the back of the corsa, so if I get a set of 40mm springs, once everything is done I can try it at 60mm for a few laps then at 40mm & see which is best | |

Well having talked about this many a time with an Ex. works Nova driver and a current Corsa tarmac rally champion, they both agree 40mm drop with 15's is the best set up for the Corsa and the same for the Nova, but they advise 14 or 15's for Novas. | |

well seing as it will be stripped out the back will be loads higher than the front. I'd say 40mm at the front mayb with higher poundage springs as the 2ltr will lower it a fair bit and mayb 60mm at the back so it looks proportionate :) | |

40mm is the lowest you want to go on a Corsa/Nova and 15" wheels are the biggest wheels you want. Any bigger/lower and you start to reduce handling. | |

considering ur having it as a bit of a track weapon(am i right!?) i would lower it 40mm front and 40mm rear, maybe 50mm, i used to have mine on the floor and it handeled shite! since i have raised it it has totally transformed how my car handles, its great now, also the ride is so much better | |

Currently its lowered 60mm on Spax RSX Kit, and I'm debating keeping it lowered 60mm, or get a set of 40mm springs on the rears & raises the front up to match. |
