Right, I have a full PI -50mm suspension kit (shocks, springs etc) and was looking at getting some 90mm springs for the rear. Would this have a massive impact on handling?
better or worse?
Cheers

worse, such short suspension travel and stiff springs will cause there rear to be very skitish and bounce. lookes good tho, id do it if i had a B

Not anymore, I have full interior now 
Thanks for the replies guys. i like the look of 90mm, but don't want to make the handling shitter for it.

Have to agree, especially in the wet.
On a track how ever, in the dry, in a stripped corsa, its very good and much more planted with just a slight hint of oversteer.
Which depending on how you like to drive, I personal find it much better and love it
But overall for road use all comfort is lost.
