i dont understand the question.... i dont think any of that will make your car faster. If you widen the track to fill the arches (properly) and set it up correctly it should handle better, in theory

might make it more snappy on the limit though....

save my cash for what? no good in the bank.

wont be painting the morrets

the cars fast already just doesnt look right with the 17s so wider kit to suit the wheels and wider track to give it better handling at higher speeds making it faster through the bends?

Wheel spacers iirc.

And if you have a few grand going spare for a track weapon, sell the corsa and get a westfield with a redtop in it.

Look great but there is a reason why you dont see many and Vauxhall tried this then went back to standard track, they could not improve the handling and found it more difficult to drive. Get the money into the suspension,quaife box or Pilbeam front end.
