They're nearly all the way down at the front? Strange, my FKs will actually allow my front bumper to sit on the floor if fully wound down lol

if you take the adjuster out of the rear it will make it lower by about 15mm ish rathen than if it was wound all the way down.

if you want it lower on the back.. you will need custom spring made up. most coilover set ups for the corsa aint meant to go lower than 60-70mm on rear, as its non adjustable.

Looks good ride height though.
