[quote][i]Originally posted by Dave A[/i] My -90mm springs use a very low poundage wound spring. the lower poundage means that the weight of the car will help get the car down lower than with a normal spring. Most aftermarket rear springs for corsas are about 250-260lb. typically a 90mm rear spring will be about 200-220lb. This gives good ride quality but the back end does go a bit soft but helps with handling in the wet. A standard corsa rear spring is about 170-180lb depending on the model. On a corsa the actual ride height on the rear isnt greatly important to how it handles due to the design of the rear beam. Its more down to the damping settings and the spring poundage. If the spring poundage is too low the back end will feel wallowy and unresponsive, if its too high then the back end will feel skittish and tend to oversteer in the wet. On tighter bends the latter option is great fun and the car feels a lot more lively but on faster sweeping corners the car becomes unstable. [/quote]
