My suspension on my car is fucked so its got to be sent back to the manufacturer. My mate is letting me borrow his standard Nova GSi springs and shocks till I get my new suspension sorted as I dont have the standard stuff for my car anymore.

I know its standard suspension but will it sit lower than standard as the Corsa is heavier? Im just wondering cos Im not sure whether to leave my 17s on but I dont want it to look like a 4x4 if its actually not gonna sit any lower than standard

The nova GSi set up was 35mm lower from factory compared to the std nova. The GSi was pretty heavy, but there's no way to tell, give it a go, then let other people know for the future.

Ok. I think the best thing to do is take both sets of wheels with me and try it on the 17s first then hopefully the garage wont mind if I change my mind if I say its too high on the 17s and tell them to put the 14s on. I will post up in here when Ive had it done

Will my valver brakes fit behind the standard 14s without catching at all?
