I had my last corsa dropped about 50-55mm on coilovers on 16" ET45 rims. All i did was remove the bolts and bond the arches back on. Did get some rubbing at the front but the rear had plenty of room left.

joffs is lower at the front and his offset must only be 42 now, due to the wank spacers he fitted to get clearance for his massive brakes, you aint had problems have you joffrey?

I was supposed to be down 60mm but was not as low as that in reality. This was how my car sat on -60mm Apex shocks and springs and ET42 (7" or 7.5" I forget) 16's:

My Corsa is dropped 60mm on ET49 16" Compo MO's. I do experience a slight scuffing on hard cornering, but nothing to worry about really.

when i was down 60mm on g-max with 195/40/16 tyres i used to get scrubbing on the front and the back with only one person in the back!
That was with de bolted and with the metal arch cut back and the plastic ones trimmed!
then i changed to 195/40/16 tyres and got rid of all rubbing completly, well maybe a small bit under very heavy cornering if it was bumpy!
Now with my coilovers and down abit more i dont get any rubbing
