I'm dropped 40mm on 16"s with 195/45 tyre. I reckon this is the best set up for a corsa which is gonna b used every day!
*All rims go straight on, with out ANY arch work
*Rims just front arches nicely, and rears sit slightly inside
*Not too bumpy ride either
*Performance remains reasonable (Can still pull a ton in a 1.2 8v with this set up)
*Combat front still got decent clearence for speed bumps etc.

Yes Dan, all that is needed is a Corsa 1.2 8v in good working condition and a fuck off big hill.

yeah i had a 40mm/16'' setup on my corsa 1.2 8v. handles like a go-kart!!
and as for the 100mph. the corsa will do 90mph on a straight road, i had mine down a 3mile hill on the motorway, a gale behind me, and my induction kit sucking in loads of cold air (december night), and i saw 108mph.

but speedo's go inaccurate at that speed so it was more like 99/100 if it was to be recorded properly.

handling doesnt improve with the lower your car goes. Handling is improved by decent shocks n springs, which depends on what you need them for. 40mm would be better then 60mm though, but 60mm will look fat

best for handling is 25mm drop, but to be honest i doubt u will notice much difference.

dig dave, just start by removeing the rear arch bolts, this solves most of it on 16's. just do more if u need to, i ran 16's for a year without doin anymore than this, was fine with 3 people in car.
