i am about to drop my corsa 60mm on a apex kit and i was just wondering if the rear brake regulator can be adjusted without extending the bar(like in the haynes max power)
cheers

wouldn't worry, i have 60mm apex springs on the back of mine and it didn't really lower it much atall. infact it sits higher than the 35mm pi springs i had on b4.

My tailend never slides out no matter how hard i brake and turn. Car just slides if i turn to much or locks up if i brake too much..

Me wants a bit of tail end action.

As said nothing needs doing and the Apex springs wont lower much more than 40mm, they are famous for doing this, where as G-max springs which i got were meant to drop the rear 60mm but its gone more like 70+!!!!
