Mines lowered just now, 30 or 40 and it handles pretty shit and is bouncy

Ideally want a spax 50mm kit, but looking at selling the car shortly so dont see the point in spending £200 on suspension

Springs or shocks? I know the shocks will wear out quicker

dont do it!!!!! i fitted 60mm springs on my corsa in march, went for a drive a day later, went round a roundabout at 30 and just understeered straight accorss it, hit the kerb, bent the chassis, cars being re-jigged as we speak,

so basically it makes the handling worse than standard (yes it is possible)

if ur gonna go any lower than 35/40mm ur gonna need to uprate the dampners too. lowerin 60mm with just replacin springs will fok ur car up. the camber will warp over time which will cause shit handlin and tyre wear and its very hard to true it back to normal. just save ur money and get some new dampeners too mate
