I went round to warren.g's at the weekend and we fitted my suspension kit to my car. Despite what people say I think that this 60mm kit has improved the handling of my car compared to standard. Turn in feels better and it feels alot more predictable. And before I get slated I will say I havn't driven a corsa with a big fancy suspension kit on. But I have driven a 106 gti so

Anyway thanks to Drax for selling me the kit and been a top bloke to deal with and warren for helping me fit the kit and use your garage with the cool lifts You also make mean bacon sandwiches

Was almost like a mini cs meet as well when M303GCO turned up was nice to meet you to mate


Here are the compolsory pics


Before:




After fitting the kit at warrens





After a quick spounge over today, hadn't seen one since PVS























Dosn't agree with slopes and speedbumps anymore

Very nice
Handling is normally bad on lowered cars cos they have big wheels on them, but with the standards shud be sweet.
