and they are road cars dont under stand this obsession on this website with handling everything that evrybody does to there corsa on here some 1 pops up and says no crap handling.................... blah blah blah
i ran -90mm springs an noticed almost no difference between my my -60mm and -40mm so its so slim of margin just is'nt that bigger a deal on the raod

i just find cars lowered like that are horrible to drive
fad has recently just had his clio taken from 60mm to 35mm, and said it drives better and handles better
lower, IMO doesnt allways win

i agree with that, i had mine 90mm rear 70 front, was really stiff, and not that comfy..
now it's 40 front, 60 rear, feels much better, and handles better imo too

Mine was bumpy as hell, i never had handling issues at 90mm if really did stick to the road, but at the same time i dont drive my cars to the limit (not a fast driving, contrary to my 6points :lol
So i couldnt tel you whether i prefered the car lowered 90mm over 60mm handling wise, although alot of the more, knowledgable people on here that i do listen to their word seem to say it does so i believe there must be some truth behind it.

oh yes i do agree it handles better i have not said it does'nt what ive said is the margin is not like going from a stock corsa to a porshe is it, a 90mm corsa would still be as quick in the twisty's as one lowered -40mm. and if the -40mm was quicker it would be silly close
but i do still agree -30/40mm is still the optimum

Depends if you keep talking it,get a set of 40mm springs and do it job done,thought you had already lowered it with that stupidly long thread that went on forever asking if sxi suspension was different from any other corsa and its not but you kept arguing with the people that know,any lower than 40mm will just scamper across the road on shit road surfaces, 40mm is spot on and I have had no problems with mine......any lower than 40mm and you will scrape it allover the deck on any slight road hump or steep slope.......you have been WARNED

Just because you like 40mm, dont mean your 100% correct, he asked his opinion on 90mm springs and everyone gets all shitty, dont see the point tbh. If your not gunna give advice on what he asked then dont post.
And my boyfriends cars lowered 100mm and it looks and handles fine, so im sure 90mm will be alrite.

Not you again correct i have got 60mm set for the car and am considering 90mm on the back all im after is a decent company to get them from and maybe a few picys to see what there like im not asking about the handling, how ever the advice has helped alot guys and if i have to say it look back through that thread i was'nt saying every one was wrong was just asking the questions, so please dont start your sh*te replys again thanks for your comments every one has helped and ideahs on colour though??? just stay standard silver?
