And as Mobby said, tyres can make or break it, profile which is quite popular is eg. 195/45/15 for 15" or could go2 195/40/15 Not sure what road sound would be like though......
i was told they dont do a 40 profile in 15's only in 16's

As long as you have 45 profile tyres and the right offset wheels then it'll be alright to go down 40mm.

i would put -60mm springs in the rear
the alloys you probably have are the wrong offset/et try and get a set of vauxhall fitment alloys
tyre profiles play a big role too. im down -60mm on vuaxhall fitment alloys with 45 profile tyres. and mine has never scrubbed EVER (fully loaded)

I'm changing the suspension out on the Corsa, I have a Sport, is the Ride height lower than standard corsa's?
Just bout FK Coilovers, adjustable at front and fixed 40mm at the rear.
The Car is currently sat on 15's and it looks like if I change the suspension the wheels will Rub big time... Also how easy is it to swap out??? Never worked on Corsa's before so any help/advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.:wave:
