you're not going to get a stable, very low set up for any less than £300 realistically. my GSI is on 60mm springs and 90mm rear with shortened shocks. (its in my garage) go see dave a as his springs are the best money can buy and excellent value. other than coilovers thats probably as low your set up could go but there maybe lower spring/shock sets out there

coool,cheers buddy.i was thinkin bout puttin a nova -60mm kit on it as i know theyre the same but the corsa's extra weight will make it bout -70mm instead,will this be bad for the shocks and springs or can i get away with this?

you could get away with it but im sure its not going to to do your camber/tyre wear any favours over time. stick to kits that are meant for the car and i wouldnt expect an extra 10mm just cause corsa's are heavier.

depends though it looks better sometimes. i never wanted mine to be higher up than it was but it had to happen. it used to look silly low, now its normal ride height for a 1litre 12v almost (well no but you know what i mean) at the back but it handles better and goes better
