Got a corsa GSI and am considering lowering it.Iv heard that they tend 2 crack the paint on the stress points when lowered.How would i go about doing the job without this problem happening as the car is an original example with only 67000 genuine miles on the clock.Any advice will be more than welcome

the b pillars are the only palces that crack to my knwledge and this will happen over time anyway, lowering will speed up the cracking but can be repaired easily

aye there are many cora gsi out there taht are mint. lowering the car will make it looik alot better, depending on wot kit and how low may help handling. this may cause a crack to start but get it repaired, and if its done propberly it wont need it ever again in theroy

It doesnt happen to every single car. Depends how its driven and exactly how hard the suspension is. I wouldn't let it put you off. It they go, fix them.
