Please state your Corsa, your suspension components and your wheel/tyre size and then a quick review of how well you think your car handles. Don't forget to mention if you have a 2.0l or standard engine.
Cheers

1993 Corsa B 1.2 8v
Lowered 40mm On gmax springs with later spec stiffened gas shocks
front and rear SRi anti roll bars
Front and rear strut braces
16"s with 194/45
Handles: VERY VERY well. Although the engines not up to much, i can do most other corsas etc round bends. Very tight and secure, but understeers alot in wet. In dry, good as gold though!! Strut braces really helped vibration during heavy turning at speed....... love it

Good for the money.
I had a few problems (1) with the tyres on the front rubbing on the spring platform on full lock. (2) I had to space out the rear wheels 5mm each side to stop the wheels rubbing on the springs. (thats with ET49 wheels)
I think im gonna change to Bilstein in the future tho.

-60mm Gmax kit on 195x45x15 Uniroyal rainsport1's & superleggera's. Corners well & grips like fuk even when pissing rain, def buy those rainsports again! Stops well due to Astra GSi front brakes but couldn't pull you off a slack ride because it's got all the acceleration of a milkfloat! Def bumpy on our shitty roads but enjoys going fast when it seems most composed! Like the quote Adam!
