lower 60mm, gsi rep skirts, and colour coded bumpers will be spot on!

hmm i think...get a late spec black plastic bumper in good nick, and make sure the arches are all black plastic and spot on. Drop it, and with a slatted grille and keep it clean and the trims blacked...will look class!

oh and a set of depos and black MHW's too...

would handle fine that low for everyday use etc, its only a 1.2 so guessing it wont be seeing a track..

and i do agree it would handle better higher, but if it aint going on track then theres no real need imo..

there is every need tbh. unless its driven slowely everywhere. better having a car higher up and it being comfy to drive, even if slower, and still being able to go round corners easy enough.

i mean thats my views. lowering a corsa that much is stupid. ive been there and done it and it ruins the drive of the car completely.

but...if its being used on the road, you want everyday practicality. even a deep pothole or grid would damage something if its that low, and you cant avoid the hazard. As hard as i try, sometimes they are just unavoidable. Speedbumps too...

Also, the ability of the suspension to iron out imperfections at speed are massively compromised at that ride height i.e. motorways.

i had my corsa lowered 60mm on spax rsx coilovers, i then wound the fronts all the way down and fitted 110mm rear springs, and imo it handled better on the road..

its down to the guys choice at the end of the day, it was just my point that i think it looks alot better in the pic i did then just 60mm..
