Off topic I know but have you got any pics of your C on 16"s with a 40mm drop please?

As for the question, as far as I know, you can't get a -60mm shock and spring yet yet so it'd have to be coilovers?

I'm also interested as to how peeps have fitted 17's and ALSO lowered the Corsa C, as mine is on 17's and I get rubing over certain bumps with people in the back.

Please tell me how!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks
and sorry for hijack of the thread!!

17"s and say, -40mm should be fairly easily achievable TBH. Obviously depending on your wheel offset.

yeh add me to msn an i'll show u them if u want?



AS for coilovers, fletch dont have em on his c an his is on 18s.

the wheels will be 7 x 18 so they are the same width as the 17s in the same make.

Need to check the offset of mine, I think they are about a 41 or 42 offset. Wolfrace Ikons if any one knows off hand.

Will do laters thanks mate.

As for the coilovers, I didn't mean they were necessary for 18"s, just that to the best of my knowledge, you can't get a -60mm kit yet, plenty of -40mm kits but AFAIK, no -60mm kits ('cause I wanted one!) and from what I gather, coilovers are the only way to get -60mm right now... (Or lower... )

Stick with a narrow 18" rim and they should go straight on..... as for extra low springs, FK make a 75/50 drop.

I have 18's on mine. the rims have a et49 offset with 205/35/18 tyres....

Mate think about the price of tyres..One tyre for mine was £200...so be warned!!

as for the drop theres a 35mm on mine... had a set of 50mm and it was rubbing like fcuk.. Looked sweet though
