its a hard ride and will have problems with exhaust scrapeing on speedbumps etc and if you have a bias valve you will more than likely have problems with that but you can just take that off, appart from that thats all

ride is fine really. Lower on the front makes much more difference than the rear

lovely motor!

In my opinion -100mm rear and -60mm front makes the car sit level. My sill sits almost the same level from the floor along its length

haha that must be -130mm springs can't be doing any thing.

Probably just a circle of metal in place of the spring

thats quite low tbh ^ is there any springs in there? as a lad i know had his corsa like that but had no rear springs (what a dude he was) some coilovers go that low though..

your never going to get it to sit nice though, never be able to get the front to match or slighty nose heavy (which is a better look) unless on air to tuck the front in the archs..

anyway back to the topic, my corsas in my garage are lowered 100mm at the rear..

I remember a few years back at PVS some dork took his rear springs out while it was parked but it was like 40mm at the front or something. I actually saw him jack it up, take them out, ridicule himself badly, then put them back in. It looked f*ckin naff and broken.
