Thought id share a couple of pics of how my corsa stands as it is today after a few changes that has been made recently.

Changed my budget shockers and custom -90 rear springs & -80mm front springs for the Bilstein B10 power kit

Standard 1.6 sport brakes for calibra turbo calipers with GM meriva 280mm discs & pads.

Astra sxi alloy wheels changed for some irmscher 16" softstars.

Also changed my remus straight through pipe for a remus center silencer for a more subtle sound no pics tho.

Heres a few pics anyway,suggestions & comments welcome.

Looks excellent I always miss mine whenever I see pictures of yours.

Still think the side strips need to be replaced with some post-97 ones

Agreed with Green thing on the side strips needing ot be post 97, and agreed with Nick on preferring it on the Astra wheels

Still looks good, but very generic now

Preferred the SXi Wheels on it TBH.

Looks spankingly tidy though.

Im still not 100% on the wheels myself if im honest.

I still have my astra wheels which may put back on yet.

Do you think il get away with 40 profiles on my car at the height it is now?

Looks fine as it is though, or is it scrubbing?

Have you got the camber at the front that the B10 kit seems to give btw?

Rich my car does have some camber but then again it always has since been lowered and i have no scrubbing i think the 40 profiles will look a touch better.

The SXi rims have too much going on for my liking. Also a little too angular I prefer the curvy softstars.

Aye, i liked it better before. Always been a fan of multispoke alloys, they suit it better imo.

Car looking nice but IMO i liked the astra wheels, still clean and tidy

As much as I loved the Astra wheels the Softstars just suit it perfectly in my opinion stunning!
