My car is lowered 40mm all round and my mates 1.6 sport is lowered 60mm all round, but his looks a lot more than 20mm lower than mine.
So does mine sit that much higher than his because of the weight of the engine or does 60mm look that much lower than 40mm?


Even better, any pictures of 12v lowered 60mm at the front?

Would think it would be lower at the front with heavier engine!

If you can get pictures of deano's in some thick grass then that should answer your question

corsa sport models have shorter shocks so are lower from the factory than a 1L
both cars with same springs the sport will always be lower

Concrete - high as a kite.




Grass




In all seriousness, a 12v will sit higher because of the lighter engine. The X16XE is essentially the heaviest stock engine which goes in the Corsa B I think. 12v is probably the lightest.
