I have a V reg Corsa 1.6 Sport and the previous owner had the suspension lowered quite a lot.

I love my car but I hate the ride, it is sooo bumpy, going over speed bumps sounds like the bottom of the car is coming off. Passengers in my car complain constantly about how awful it is

Does anyone have any advice on what I need to do? I know nothing about cars other than how to drive them and asked my usual garage about getting the car raised back up but they didn't seem to have much of an idea on what would need doing or the price which hasn't filled me with confidence!

If I get the suspension put back to "normal" will I need new tyres? It has 16" Spider Miglia alloys on it currently.

I really am clueless and would appreciate any help anyone can offer!

Thanks!

Sounds like you've maybe only got lowering springs on as opposed to shocks as well. If that's the case, get shock absorbers to match the springs
