just wondering what is the best way to get the rear of a corsa to sit some what lower as i just got myself a stripped out Corsa B td of all things as a run around till my astra gets fixed but the rear sits as high as a 4x4
has 16" rims which probably isnt helping, have some 195/50/15s to go on there hopefully that will help a little

some springs which are made for the stripped out rear will help it mate

mines stripped out on 16's.
this is how it used to look on the old 15's. im running fk highsport coilovers with adjustable rear spring platforms. fitted in this pic
and this is how it stands now on the 16's. all ive done is removed the adjustable platform for the rear springs
(im such a photo whore sometimes lol)

alot of people make the mistake of putting lower poundage springs on the back, which will compress more giving less weight transfer over the tyre which in turn = less grip

doesnt really help clear up which route is best, its a budget car just seriously sits high as anything

if you aint going to be hammering it around and giving it stick everywhere and just want it to look nice i would get some springs mate from say dave a made for the stripped out corsa so it sits right

non, although questioned the rear as obviously the front has a heavy weight td engine hanging over it, needs lowering aswel
