I want to lower my corsa!!!!???????????

[adermmmm]

Not sure whats the best way to do it coilovers or springs? cheerssss

 

[pgarner]

Coilovers every time.
if you just get springs they will eventually wreak the standard shocks.
coilovers will allow you to set hight to a decent level ( go to low and youll start eating inside of tyres and could damage driveshafts ) and if you go for decent coilovers they will allow you to cange the dampning and rebound rates.

 

[adermmmm]

coilovers are so expensive tho

You g-het what you p-hey for.

 

[adermmmm]

what about suspension kits?

 

[MasterAuron]

A compromise. Suspension kits are new uprated shocks AND springs that work together and are sometimes adjustable too. This is probably the best choice for those not wanted to go all-out. You dismiss the standard shocks wearing out faster and the chopiness you can often get by having uprated springs but an un-matched damping rate from the standard shocks.

On your Corsa, only the fronts would be coilovers anyway. The rear will still be adjustable shocks and springs even if you get a coilover kit.

cheerssss very handy when you dont exactly no alot ha ha ha i mean would springs be allright if only done like 30 mm?

 

[MasterAuron]

In all fairness, yes. Just springs would be fine on anything up to 40mm to be on the safe side. I personally wouldn't recommend you go lower on standard shocks but I know many people that have gone very low with just springs and there shocks are still fine. The ride compared to a proper suspension kit does leave a lot to be desired though.

My old car was a 98 corsa sport, I had it dropped 60mm front & back & the bump stop removed. It was a very bumpy ride but never had any trouble with shocks all the years I owned it & the handling & looks more than made up for the bumpy ride. Im actually considering buying it back from the fella I sold it to for a run-about
