Reason i ask is iv lowered my old breeze 60mm had no prolems and a friend lowered his sri 40mm he had no problems, im now looking at lowering my corsa b sxi 60mm but it seems (i may be wrong) that the front arch gap is alot more on an sxi then any other model? Am i going to get any problems e.g camber?

If any ones lowered an sxi could get back to me woul be a big help

No difference in spring height either.

Would of only been tyre size / air pressure that made it look like it was higher / lower

The only Corsa that was lower than the rest was the GSi. Even then it doesn't matter as you are replacing the springs, so what height it started out as is irrelevant.

Your sxi engine wont weigh as much as say a sport, so some kits may sit lower depending on what engine you have..

Shouldn't be any at all if the car is sitting on wheels with the correct offset.

Me, only problem I'e ever had was cos I was too lazy to get the tracking checked, went through a pair of front tyres in 6 months, got the tracking sorted and it's all sound, these tyres (same make) have lasted me over 12 months upto now and there's still plenty of life on em

But there is no difference tho mate. At the end of the day if you put 60mm springs on it should be 60mm regardless.

Are the springs brand new? If so they take a while to fully wear in, it settles a little more then

40mm, if they do sit any higher, then it'll just be down to the weight of the engine as someone mentioned above

Well there you go. When they are new they take a while to settle down. Just go for a spirited drive down the backroad
