hi all. another post by me
im currently building up a corsa 1.4 8v and was wondering what suspension setup would be best?
ill be rallying around roads late at night and over a variety of surfaces, all tarmac just maybe some loose gravel and dust etc.
i dont want it to be to low because ill be hitting the ground far to much (god praise the sump guard), but need it to be firmer than usual to prevent body roll. ill be running on 14" with 185 width (max i can really go on 14"s.
i dont really wanna go more than 25m lower although ive heard with much better shocks the springs are actually quite good standard.
o yeah and i also dont wanna be spending shite loads
advise would be much appreciated.

I sell a -30mm spring kit that is around 20% stiffer. designed to work with standard shocks.

cool.... sorry for slighty nearly getting pi**ed off!
well, they come in all sorts of events, from 12 car to like 80 cars. have a navigator, a map, and you go from point to point getting clues and your navvy figures them out and then plots the route to the next point etc etc.
very fun! i used to hav a 205 gti but i blew it up! haha!
hence going for the solid 1.4 sri engine..... just need to know about suspension! and also how to fix fault code 24! grr
