Hi guys,

Got a bit of an issue with my handling at the moment, bought the car lowered 60mm at the back and 30 at the front, when im turning the handling doesnt seem thaqt good? is it because the front isnt as low/lower?

Thanks

Bit of a difference between 30 and 60, I'd even it out. In my experience Corsas aren't the best handling car anyway lol

Best way to improve the handling of a Corsa:

Lower it with uprated shocks or coilovers being a necessity.

Add a Cavalier or Whiteline rear ARB.

And never forget to get the alignment and tracking sorted after every time you've been playing around with the suspension.

You want it pretty much level. You can get a cheap lowering kit at least it will be all the same. What wheels and tyres have you got. Once you've fitted a new lowing kit get the tracking looked at, something might be bent.
