Does anyone know if the shocks are the same on standard models of post-97 Corsa's, as opposed to Sport?
And if the springs on the Sport models are lower than standard?
Fed up of my boaty wallowy ride, insurance won't allow me to mod big time, I'm sure I'd get away with standard Sport springs, and want to know if it'd be worth while.

sports - GSis are 15mm lower than standard
Put some bricks in the boot and it will be lowered by that much

You won't notice a difference, if your that bothered get some lowering springs and powdercoat them black.

My lad has a corsa sport and the suspension is just to damn hard for where we live with the libdems and their speed humps.
He has Koni adjustables on it and says it can be adjusted but I dont know how. he also has 17 inch wheels so would that mean its been raised rather than lowered?? Any ideas and suggestions appreciated.
Do I have to get softer springs to fit so he can get home without busting the bumpers??
