Yes, but Corsa C springs are fine. I sell Apex and i can say they're only dodgy on the Corsa B, most other cars are fine. The reason they are dodgy on the Corsa B is because they are the same ones they used to fit for Corsa A (Nova)

Dont cut a coil whatever you do. Its dangerous as fcuk.
If you want it lower get some different springs, may cost a few quid but its better than paying with your life.

Mines lower on one side then the other, only slightly, nobody really notices it except me.
Its a well harsh ride though  Needing some new springs i reckon.

the lesson ive learnt here is not to try and cut corners just bite the bullet and pay the extra cash for the proper parts.
