has anyone got standard nova springs on their corsa?
iv currently been through for sets of suspension, and all have handled well but been a totally shite ride.
so far i have tried gmax full kit, spax psx full kit, pi, and currently running nova spax kit.
if i were to use standard nova gte springs, would it lower much??

The GTE's are about 15-20mm lower than the base spec Nova's already, plus the corsa is about 150kg's heavier? So it will sit lower, by how much I dont know.

You're running cheap crappy kits.

Get a decent kit and your suspension woes will be over.

You won't find a decent level of ride comfort with any uprated suspension kits.

Even the likes of Koni and Bilstein are stiffer than std.
Out of all the "normal" kits out there, I'd go for Konis or Bilsteins, but for that money you could get FK Highsport coilovers - nice comfortable ride and they've still got what it takes when you get to some twisties.
