My sister has lowered her Corsa 50mm all round on PVD springs and we have just fitted 17" Dare wheels to it.
The problem is now that the rear looks up under braking and can be fun for a while but is not good for the long turn. Where is the brake bias (spelling) thing so that I can adjust it to stop it locking up etc.
Plus is it easy to do etc how much would it need adjusting and so on so no.
Cheers

It should be bolted up to the floor pan, with a spring connecting it to the rear axle. I don't thinky ou can adjust them, you sure it hasn't seized?
Thats for a corsa B anyway, you haven't said which model, so I'll assume.

u can adjust it, you just undo the bolt holding the tension on the spring and it should go floppy , then u take the free play out of the spring and do the nut back up ( you have to do it with the car on its wheels not on a jack)

with the car on its wheels get under it and loosen the adjustment off and then pull the spring tought to take the free-play out of it (the spring should only be under slight tension) and do the nuts back up
