they dont rub with 40's on, and look much better than the 50's

deal was £224 for 4x falkens, probably cheap crap but better than it rubbing.

lowering @ weekend

side on pic ffs steven

only problem with 40's is that you feel every bump in the road but can sacrifice that for looks.

all depends if you call -35mm lowering, a lot of corsa owners dont consider the car lowered until its 150mm or scraping the road, which ever comes first

40 profile tyres are good. Look better

Falkens though I had a set on my 14" sport wheels because they seemed a resonable price, never again.

Dissapointed steve.

General consensus is the standard suspension is the best all round, which means you are lowering soley for looks.

40s aren't that bumpy? I've run 35s in the past and even those weren't THAT bad.

Looks great Steve! Glad to hear your lowering it
