Ok got breaks sorted engine at the ready just need to sort out my suspension. I currently have a set of PI springs+ monrow shocks
Will i need to change the lot? or just springs??
I only recently changed my springs from60 to 40 as da 60 ride was fucking hard. I know that pi spriongs are designed for all corsas up to 1.4 possibly 1.6 but what do i need to do when the heay dog is put in the front?

Cheers guys Phil

Idealy you'll need a real good set up but you would probably get away with replacing your springs with the Courtenay 2.0l Corsa springs.

the coiovers come with the correct springs anyway . if ur motor has already got an anti-roll bar, then this will be fine

These FK coilovers sound good. Is it FK that do the 2.0l springs or are the 2.0l springs put on by someome esle? (PVD).
What are the drops on the FK coilover kit? obviously the front is hieght adjustable but whats the back drop like?

the FK coilovers come with the 2.0 springs if u ask PVD
drops on the fk coilovers go as low as 75mm - if u dont get the fully adj ones then the rears drop about 40mm i think.
