Hi CS, first of all seasons greetings  . I wish to lower my corsa a bit but nothing OTT. The important thing is that I want to have a robust suspension kit because unfortunately our country does not have the best roads on earth. Also I have 16s et 35 (195/45/16) on and was looking at doing some arch mods to clear any rubbing. I found the bilstein B12 kit interesting since it does not lower a lot and also it seems robust.
Any comments? Or maybe some other kit?
Thanks you

Can't really go wrong with a quality brand like Bilstein...if you've found a good deal I say grab them

although i know some people dont rate them but maybe a set of fk coilovers may fit your bill. adjustable too so you can lower it just a tad or go lower if the need/want arrises. qutie a bit more pricey than some spring and shock setups but i had some for a while and they werent all that bad. worth the money to some people if it fits their needs.

b12 kit is a stunning setup. they use the old bilstein sprintline shock (probably the best fixed rate shocks ever made) and H&R springs. it will handle very very well and be comfy over the bumps

Thanks ppl for all your comments. Most probably I'll go for this bilstein setup. Another question: Does the wheel offset or wheel width affect shock lifetime?
