..is there a point where handling suffers for ride height?

Does anyone have any pictures showing varying ride heights?

the FK's are the corsa are set to about right. i tried loads of combinations.

if you go any lower you will have to lift off in bumpy parts of road. or you will have to go to 195/45 tyres

mine are about -70 front and rear, hadles very well at decent speeds, not so good at lower speeds.

there is still more adjustment on the front, but using 16's i cant go any lower, and the manifold is close enough to the ground as it is !

and as dave will say, there shit, there the wrong poudage, bla bla fuckin bla
