I want to try out some different combinations of springs/dampers to find what works best for me.
I am interested to hear if anyone knows the differences between springs fitted to a corsa B.
Are sport springs lower than those fitted to other models ?
Are sport and GSI springs the same ?
Any other spring info would also be appreciated.
Thanks

Sports are sat stupidly high, if i were you id drop down 30mm on uprated shocks if you want good cornering aswell as a compfy ride. Im down 60mm ish and find it crashy and hard sometimes.

I have tried Gmax, Bilstein B12 and currently running Bilstein streetline kit which is still a bit hard for me, I want a 30mm drop and a comfy ride.
A lot of the problem is the state of the roads in the area I live, if the roads were better the streetline kit would be fine.

Bilsteins and Eibachs are meant to be Superb.

ive got 40mm spax adjustables, really good bit of kit, and you can adjust to what you want, stiff or soft best of both worlds

In hindsight I should have gone for an adjustable setup, I've spent so much on suspension I cannot really justify buying all new stuff again.
Eibach always seems to be highly rated so I may just try a set of their springs.
