I had the -60mm kit on my Corsa for years and it was fine. Although you will definitely get better quality kits if you spend a bit more money.

I had G-Max on my 1.2 8v and they are the worst quality springs.
They snap easily and were actually investigated by Trding Standards for dangerous build quality.
There shit. End of.

G-max are fine for a 1.2 corsa, hardly worth spending a hundreds more on some fancy stuff is it when you just want your car lower.
Had them on mine for a while and the same set has been around my mates cars as well, still going strong.
