Looks better just me but another 10mm would be spot on and easily done

(On the front)

As ive said the only way of going lower on the front is to remove the helper springs, which i dont fancy doing. And as you can see by the last pic the tyres are pretty close to the arch's so going lower is a no no for me tbh. The front mud guards scrape on everything already,more so if you get excited and corner hard. Haha And my splitter hits alot of speed bumps already. When i lowered it i didnt want any sort of rake (front or back lower) to me its sits level and i like it compared to some people who have 100mm rear springs and 60mm fronts. I do appreciate all your opinions i really do. Its good to hear any sort of feedback.

The only reason I say this is because corsas look rear end heavy anyway due to rear arch design, slightly (10mm front) rake works well imo, so 'level' will always look lower on the rear to some degree.

I get what your saying but mud flaps are very minor to sort, running with no helpers is minor also and still be decent ride quality.

Corsa arches can be trimmed right back and still look untouched, so this would sort the clearance issue.

Twists look nice though, nice choice and 15s are the best size

I know what your saying mintyfresh but if i lower the fronts it will look like this again


That was before i had 4 matching tyres and i hated how the front was lower. At that point i still had the adjusters in the rear and to stop the rear tyres scrubbing. I much prefer it how it is tbh so it will be staying that way.

Very tiny update and most people wouldnt have been bothered but it bothered me. The tigra scuttle panel i had was all patchy and there was no way of sorting it so i went scrappy and got a faded one for the whole sum of £4. Lol

Heres the pics of the patchy one.



And heres the pics of the £4 scrap yard special, treated with smooth peanut butter then autoglym bumper care.




Gonna get it all cleaned up in the morning for the east mids meet at Northampton

Not bad for £4 eh? Everyone sells them on here for about £15 so i might keep going scrappy and getting them and cleaning them up and selling them for £15.

What colour coded archs and bumper tops?? It would be easier to clean and keep on top of because the archs fade quite quickly and its a pain.
