Avo GTZ coilovers
-100mmish rear -60mmish front
handles amazing, so much more grip than my old set up. Rides nice. They don't like potholes though.

I've got Spax Krypton adjustable coilovers with custom 280lb front springs lowered around 70mm ish and 100mm rear springs. By far the best item I've bought for my car. I had a play with the set up when I fitted them and it's been that way ever since as it's perfect for what I want.

Spax RSX Coilovers.
I find having the damping set half way through the range that it handles and soaks up bumps/un-even roads better than having it on full 'soft'

how does low=slow especially on the rear of the corsa, its the body thats dropped not the axle thats always gonna remain same height from the road?
i am -40mm front and -90mm rear on bilstein b12 shockers and irmscher front springs and custom rears with x2 strut braces and rear arb..... along with pirelli p zero nero tyres which people leave out of handling for some reason and tyres can have a good impact in my opinion

The B has -60mm Apex Sport kit, not bad for the price imo, much better ride quality than Spax. It's quite stiff, but not completely bone shaking.

GAZ GHA coilovers with 285lb front springs
adjusted to around -40 front - 45 rear (max is -60 -75)
quite smooth on softerst setting,
stiff settings will brake your back,
half way is smooth enough for most roads but can get abit crashy on potholes.

I've got Spax RSX on the van, front strut brace, whiteline rear ARB, crap tyres, it's not bad on smooth roads, and a ATB, but crap on back roads. Trying to get used to the diff, with no P/S.
Wietec 30mm springs, on the Sport, got them cheap, didn't think they would be very good, they are pretty impresive.

how many slammed rally corsa have you seen? ask people that drive on track days, lower a corsa and it will handle worse. therefore low = slow. also in terms of what i do with my car, the lower it is, the slower it is. tried it both way.
