how many slammed rally corsa have you seen? ask people that drive on track days, lower a corsa and it will handle worse. therefore low = slow. also in terms of what i do with my car, the lower it is, the slower it is. tried it both way.
I keep mine on the highest I can, low is for looks.
I don't live in a town or city, so don't spend my night cruising, I would be on my tenth sump by now.

Jamex shocks and springs (kit name escapes me at the mo) Supposed to be -35 but more like -60. Great ride and not bouncy at all, doesn't like potholes though!

Standard shocks

Corners better, ride's a bit harsher, but still decent.

ok low may equal slow but i dont for one minute TIME myself between daventry (my home town) and braunston (a local village with a good road between the two.......) ill be sure to get my stopwatch out and start doin this see if i can knock off 1/2 a second by fitting me -40mm back on the rear compared to my -90mm rears.
i bet i know the result no same two times as something always changes even on a track so who gives one really?

Gaz coilovers, bit lower than standard, bit stiffer than standard, Phoenix Motorsport Geometry setup. Last bit is most important. Excellent.

Leda coilovers (and their struts on the back..)

yeah i know nic tbh i do agree as i swop between my -40's and -90's depending on what im doing or where im going but i just think considering i swop a handful of times a year i.e for goin away for a long weekend to the isle of wight for instance the change in ride height is'nt that much of a difference really, well not to me
