g max kits are fairly soft mate, stiff enough to handle well but not too harsh on bumps and pot holes. i will have a full g max -60mm suspension kit for sale in week or 2 as ive just bought coilovers.

Cut springs?

If you go aftermarket you probably won't get as soft as standard.

I've got apex shocks and spax 60mm springs on the front of my combo van, no change in the ride really, but might not be the same with a full kit on a corsa?
