Hi i am just asking the question "how hard is it to fit corsa lowering springs 40mm"
i want to fit them to my car i have the max power book on corsa's and the propper manual of the corsa of my kind.
i have been reading into how to do it but has anyone had experience in fitting them there self or did you get them fitted Professionally. I aslo read on here about how to fit them on the turorial so should i just go and attempt it.

Any help appriciated

Yes attempt it , its the only way you will learn and the way I did it

Just make sure you get spring compressors, and that all bolts youre going to loosen are covered in WD40 before hand.

Be prepared for a lot of shouting and swearing

yeah it's pretty simple on a corsa. rear wheels don't even need to come off.

probably took me about 5hours the first time i'd ever done it, but half that after a few times.

things you'll need other than the usual sockets and spanners are spring compressors for the front, and a swan neck spanner for the top mounts. trolley jack and axle stands would be recommended

handbrake on firm, leave it in gear, and chock the trolley jack. shouldn't go anywhere then.

it'll only slide if you don't set everything up properly.
