hey guys...ordering my softstars this week...finally got enuff money saved up haha!...once ive got these will have to wait for my old alloys to be sold so i can go get the money for the tyres...thinking of getting 40 profile on them...any suggests???
the main thing is that once i get the wheels sorted gonna lower the car on fk highsports...they pretty cheap at the minute and fancy the adjustables so i can decide on height when its all fitted...
So will i be able to fit these myself...anyone else fitted them got any handy tips??? cant really find a tutorial on here and i've never fitted suspension before!
just 1 more question...is is worth getting a front strut brace to stiffened the front end more...im after a nice ride
all help will be great guys as i said im in the dark about all this...car shud be sorted soon enuff preminum from then on....

i wouldnt personally go for 40,s on the tyres.45's or 50's will do.and it shows you how to fit coilovers in the haynes corsa manual.but if your not sure get some one to do it for you.where about in birmingham are you?

40's do look a bit better, but the tyres are more expensive so if your going to be heavy on tyres just go for 45 profiles.
As for the Coilovers you should be able to fit them yourself, although you will still need the allignment sorting when you have done them.
