just seen a 1.2 sxi corsa. got 17's, no body work done at all. it was sitting so low at the back. It had been lowered on springs, and looked much lower than 40mm, even lower than 50mm... does anyone know how/where i can lower my car this much on standard dampers, just changing springs? cant find anyone.... a few links or even names would be great.

yeah, ill get them when i got a bit more money. But this was a chav driver, and therefore didnt have coilovers, just springs, so i want them for the time being. Its just his car was low, almost as if he had several fat people in the back (which he didnt have..)

A Corsa (or any small hatch) with no bodywork mods and 17s always does, and always will look stupid regardless of ride height. I fail to see how this could be brilliant looking? Nekkid laydee on the bonnet perhaps?

you say he was a chav, i suspect he has cut his springs, verrry dogey, save up for coils.
17ins look silly on a standard corsa

he probably had couple hundred bricks he just nicked from the local building site in his boot.
nah seriously, get a set of coilovers or a -60 mm drop springs and you will have a similar drop.

lol. classic chav, burbary aka burglary...
you've said coil overs OR -60mm drop springs. Does that mean you CAN get 60mm dropping springs for corsa c? cause funds wont allow me to get coilovers yet...
