Hi all,

Ive got Gmax full kit 40mm on my car at the moment but due to massive speed bumps where i stay and i need to get ppl in the back seat then i need to raise the suspension up a little.

Basically do i just need old corsa springs or can i get better ones that wont be an bouncy?

may seem daft but how do you adjusted them and is it hard? so if i got them i could raise it back up to normal height then drop it back down?

the platform that the spring sits on at the bottom is on thread, so its winds up and down. Easy to adjust. Yes could make rear however you want and front however you want. Dno bout the highsports but with my konigsports, i couldnt lower the front as much as i wanted as the spring platform was hitting the inside of the tyre, however get get shorted helper springs from BAT motorsport to fix this, 40 quid i belive.
