i got some new springs off a scrap corsa and they are very short, im trying to find out how low they are, i was just wondering how bad it is that they come out of the cups without having to undo the dampers?

A Corsa sport 1.6 x16xe 4x4 of course........
........... lol. That cant be done on a corsa as 120mm drop leaves its ass scrapping on the floor. My 90mm is low enough.

He dont use them, thats why they are on the shelf. Sure he said they came off a nova that he raised up again. Might do it for a laugh tonight but stuff driving on them. I'll take some pictures.

Please do mate. 
cant imagine it to be fair. as from experience. 100mm keeps on bottoming out on most uprated shocks and the springs are tiny.

190 IS IMPOSSIBLE!
Id love to know how the springs were measured, where they were bought from etc?
Lowest you can go iirc is 100 (true 100) these 190s are proberly the same drop as 100's but the company who made them are proberly fools.

No prob, The full height of these springs are only about 3" high lol. Just spoke to him and we will def do it.
I got 60mm springs on at the moment on mine and its dropped the front nicely but they aint worth a wank on the rear. Seems like it has only dropped by about 20mm
