As far as i know the suspension is the same on all corsa. It'd just lower the GSI (eg.) 30mm and not 40mm.
But that price looks good.
Tryed ebay?

What you going to do about wheels?

From past experience, Spax sus is really hard. Got rid of them for some eibach springs, WOW. So much comfort, but still holds well.
I've got Eibach on my corsa and my astra.

They do cost more. But as the old saying goes,
"you get what you pay for".

ill have to see then wont i, you never know, i might be able to afford them and my wind deflectors, nothing else apart from a possible CV joint due to my front drivers knocking on full lock  and a new headlight bulb if my sidelight doesnt come back on
If i were to pay the extra and get eibach, would they be ok on standard shocks also? just as much or more than spax? likely to last longer?
thanks for help

Wow, I was going to be posting a thread similar to this but I have no need now also looking at lowering my car, by about 40mm also on standard shocks.
Haimsey - how much has the insurance company quoted you for a lowering of 40mm?

What is it with these wind deflectors?
Down to a 40mm drop, the standards are ok. Not great, just ok.
It'll all depend on your driving style. Fast country lanes or sat on the motorways etc.
