You may not though. Sean-B didn't have to,i did and i think nic barnes did too. If you have a hammer you can do it.

If designed properly they would bolt straight in.

the issue is the spring size and platform mounting position, the corsa's have alot of tolerance in the rear beam, one kit will fit one car spot on, but the same kit may catch on another car. iv fitted a few avo sets now and had one catch. nothing a hammer wouldnt solve tho

As said there is a good 10mm clearance on mine. No matter where the spring seat is.
