yes i did/do

i had a complete 60mm lowering kit.

the fornts went down actaully bout 60mm, the back didnt go anywhere near, infact they say higher than my old 35 mm springs.

so i went and got some pi 60mm rear springs and now its level, also got some top adjustable koni front dampers as the apex ones were gash.

back needs dropping, apex spring are quite well known for not dropping the back the amount they are ment to, just get some new rear springs to drop the back down 60mm

Where did you buy them from Corsa Godfather? Are they Corsa -60 springs or Nova -60 springs?

Seems too old for a corsa, dunno why 60mm for a nova and 60mm for a corsa would make the height different though

Maybe, but surely if they were for a nova they'd be lower as a corsa weighs more?

the rear spring should be falling out of the corsa. Thats fucking weird. Thats a nova part number. No like motech to fuck things up. Get ur money back and go for a PI set up.

Im doing them for £60
