ive already lowered my corsa b sri 40mm on 195/45/15's. But fancy going lower. Will i have to get rid of mud flaps?, will arches need rolling? will joints and bearings start going more often.

to be fair ive not had many probs with going 40mm, so going 60mm cant be that bad can it??

oh and by the way any1 got any gmax 60mm springs?

thanks

you would be better getting uprated shocks also coz going down 60mm will shag the standard ones pretty quickly. You can't roll the arches on a corsa as such but you can remove the bolts which will give you a little bit more clearance

you shouldn't have n e probs in terms of rubbing as long as your wheels are the correct offset etc..

you probably will begin the wear a few other components a little quicker than usual, like CV joints for intance.
