Hi all. I'm planning on lowering my 1.0 corsa soon. I want to go 60mm all round but i have found that alot of companies like gmax do not do a 60mm option for the 1.0

So my question to you is what would be the best option to lower my car this much on low budget?

Many thanks
Shaun

As far as I know, 12v lowering is universal i.e. same as 1.2's, 1.4's etc if you're only going for springs.

Don't quote me on that though. Someone will know the answer, hold tight

i have just brought a set of 50mm springs for my 1L, couldn't find a 60mm set anywhere. I would get the correct springs for your car

Thanks for the reply bud. Are they with the standard shocks? and how do they feel?

Also do you have the link to them mate?

Thanks

The body shape is pretty much the same on 1.0litres all the way up to 1.6's.
you shouldnt have any problems with going 60mm on corsa lowering springs.

Thanks for the reply

This was taken from an advert for a gmax lowering kit on ebay:

quote:

We also have a 60mm lowering kit for the same price but this kit will not fit the 1.0 or GSi.


Although I have just found a jamex 60mm kit that fits the 1.0l. Anyone know if these are any good?
