I'm looking to improve the handling on my corsa because at the moment its shoot. what suspension setups can you guys recommend for around £200. im want a 40mm drop at the the front and 60mm at the rear.
I already have 40mm front springs and can get hold of some 60mm rear so is it possible to just buy uprated dampers or would it be better to buy a full setup?

yeah thats what i was thinking, but then i wasnt sure if having a kit would be better as the springs and dampers will be setup for each other.
"hows swad anyway ?? much happenin ??"

I recomend saving up and getting somthing decent. low does not mean good handling

yes i know, but from what iv'e read 40mm seems to be the best amount to lower to improve handling, i only want 60mm for the rear as it is stripped out.

go to www.tuning.co.uk and look under the vauxhaul section... there is a bilstein kit for around your budget... go for the ultra low one(-60mm)
your car will hangle like its on rails... its a very harsh ride though... but thats what you get for 200 sheets
