see i wouldnd go low on any blistren shocks, really 40 mm is all ther emade for as they do not have shortened piston rods apprently according to many websites, get some adjustable if u are gonna go low as it may stop catching over bumps etc

not really much point, they are origanl dmapers maybe 10% stiffer if ur lucky and then the spring as ok for blistren but not the best

i just cant believe how well the birds tigra handles on the bilsteins that were 300 odd quiid cheap than the coilovers...
there deffo setup right this time... i spend abouit 3 hours with a laser alingment machine....
should be interesting to see how the tigra handles when the 16's go on...
i keep using her car at the moment cos mines too annoying to drive
EDIT: actually just drove to the shops there in the corsa in the wet... what a funn we car.... i really have to get an exhaust for it its a bit loud with no back box
