ok. so when i got my corsa i was told it was lowered 30 mm allround. the front looks ok maybe another 10mm drop would look ideal. but the arse is too high imo. how far do you reckon i should get it lowered just buy 40mm allround springs (i've been told because my car has gsi supsention as standard it sits lower than a basic corsa anyway)

thats not what i mean really. i mean if you live in the urban jungle, you could more or less go as low as you want as you will probably never see bumpy roads and dodgy corners etc etc.

my car sits quite high at the back, feels much better to drive. front isnt massively low yet the arb smacks of the ground loads on country roads.

your car would feel ten times better to drive than mine if it would be lowered 20000mm or even highered the same amount because yours actually moves
