Right going to be pulling my finger out and getting a few bits a wont done, done, first were can i get a decent set of 90mm rear springs from? And that actually lower 90mm and will they go on ok and look ok with standard sxi alloys 14" or should i just stay with 60mm all round?

Secound question, im refurbing my sxi alloys as they looked sh*gged when i got the car and have been on steelies all winter as never got round to finishing them off, im un-decided for colour, standard silver they came in or black or a wacky colour like orange or deep red ect?

The car by the way is completley standard apart from when i get round to fitting gmax 60mm lowering set, the body is just original un-modded and clean its a corsa b also and is mett silver

90mm on 14" is stupid in my personal opinion, 90mm on any wheel is verging on silly as well

far to low, have about 25% shock travel, risk of bottoming out, wont handle, will be on the floor on 14", rear seats are unuseable, mansell never drove a corsa

no jr he never but most people seem to think they are him, end of the day i agree with then fact it may bottom out etc etc but firstly like me there are no back seats and the rear of my car is so stiff it wont bottom out unless i take a hump back bridge at 100mph

and they are road cars dont under stand this obsession on this website with handling everything that evrybody does to there corsa on here some 1 pops up and says no crap handling.................... blah blah blah

i ran -90mm springs an noticed almost no difference between my my -60mm and -40mm so its so slim of margin just is'nt that bigger a deal on the raod
