I really wanna go for the ultra-low looking corsa, only way it can be done is takin the springs out on the back. Any1 done this, or know any1 who has? Will it cause any long-term damage?
Any info would be great!

Anyway, in answer to this rediculous question:
You get the ultra low look by using coilovers, or at least by using Nova lowering springs which ar normally a lower poundage to Corsa springs.
I don't know anyone who has been stupid enough to do this.
The long term damage would be a badly damaged chassis due to an increased rate of metal fatigue due to there being no spirngs to absorb energy from bumps in the road. Serious injury or death due to the extreme lack of control and un-predictable road handling when cornering or even driving in a straight line.

max power did a running feature a couple of years back where they had to make two cars as low as possible.
might of been revs actually
but anyway, they cut and lowered the spring platform lower down on the beam so even standard springs lower the car however much you drop the platform.
bit of fabrication work involved though.
