It didnt seem that low at first, cause it needed to settle in, but how fukin hard was the ride??? I couldnt believe it, you could feel a fag butt if you ran over one!!! luckily it has softened up after breaking in, but still stiff enough!!!!
Theres quite a few of us now in the 60mm slammed gang now!!!!

Thats mine, 60mm on Gmax Sprins and Pi shocks. Really bumpy ride, if you hit a bit of a hole i get a massive bang, but the handling has improved massively.

DYU REKON YOU CAN GET 17's ON A CORSA WITH A PSG2 WIDE ARCH KIT,
AND THEN LOWER IT TO 6Omm OR IS THAT A BIT TOO LOW FOR THE FRONT BUMPER TO BE PRACTICAL, IS 40MM BETTER WITH 17'S AND A BIG BUMPER?
CHEERS!

I think its possible to get 17s on with the PSG2 wide arch kit, no prob there!!
but might still be a bit low to get your front bumper over any speed bumps etc..
I think if you are gettin that kit and want a 60mm drop you should get 18 or
maybe even 19s, plus that will raise the car a little extra!!! or if you can afford it,
get hydraulics!!!!

I've got -40mm Gmax kit with 16's but its gone down much lower than 40mm. Probably a good 60mm. Also the exhaust keeps dropping and banging on the torsion bar. Has anyone else had the same problem???

Yep common problem when lowering you car it will bang on the rear axle, not torsion bar cuz corsa's dont have them, just undo a clamp near to the axle and turn until it clears the axle abit more or a garage would do it for a tenner i expect!!!!
And yeh the G-Max stuff lowers more than it says i had to 40mm thats was lower than 40mm though now i have the 60mm springs and sports shortened shocks and its fecking low!!!!
