i have the cav 1.7 td lump in my corsa, it is currently dropped 40 all round, with 3 gas shocks and 1 std one(drivers front)
i am buying a bodykit tomorrow night, with the extra weight of the 1.7td lump is it wise me lowering it 60 on nova springs or you reckon the bodykit will hit the deck?
anyone got a spare gas shock or set of coilovers they wanna part with?

Surely with more weight you'd want higher springs?

dont know why people think this or if mabey it is true as a 50mm sport corsa spax kit is the same part number as a 60mm nova kit but the sport corsa is 15/20mm lower than a standered one allready so the conclusion i dont care my car is slamed to the deck on these ones so make your own conclusion or chop the standered one with a grinder, lol

you need to get 1.5 td springs, i had petrol ones on my corsa at one point and it handled like a sack of shit, the td ones have a higher rating as its a heavier lump.
