Ive had my corsa 1.6 sport lowered 40mm on gmax suspension kit.
gave a true 40mm drop on each side accoroding to demon tweeks however car sits far to high at he back compared to the front + looks kinda shit.
anything i can do to lower the back further - ive been told putting lower springs on back than front is a v bad idea.

Chassis Dynamics springs are the best at kkeeping the Corsa level, not sure if they are still made though.

ive contacted all major gmax suppliers and have been told they do not sell springs seperately so im gonna have to buy the whole kit - will anyone be interested in purchasing a set of 60mm front springs or 40mm rear spings ???

Do you mean a single spring, or just the lowering spring kit?
