Looking to lower my Corsa B, On a tight(ish) budget. Really need ideas and pro's and cons at how to go about it.

Only looking to lower 40-60mm all round because I often have a full car.

Got 3 options at the moment, 1) Buy 40mm Springs and put em on original shocks (cheapest, but worried about wear on original shocks)
2) Buy 40mm Kit inc. Shorter uprated shocks (expensive but wont have to worry)
3) Buy a set of Coilovers (Not much more expensive that a 40mm kit and would be able to lower to how I want, but heard they often have problems on corsa's if anyone knows anything about that?)

40mm on standard shocks will be fine, just a little bouncy

My Astra was on standard shocks with 60mm Corsa springs and it wasn't bad tbh.

Or just look for a second hand set of a full lowering kit! they range from around £60-£100 odd quid! Im selling my full jamex kit with uprated shocks and 60mm springs for only £90 collected so shouldnt be too hard to find something
