NEED HELP! - CORSA B

[jamiem93]

Hey guys im pretty new to this, my mate told me to come and post my querry on the form rooms as you guys are normal top quaility on helping people

I have an old corsa b 1997 plate and i want to get her lowered, i know about springs or coilover, any idea where i can get a cheap set from? looking at going 35mm or maybe more ... iv tried ebay etc but i cant find just the springs? if i get the springs do i need to change the shocks or will they slide straight on?

Cheers guys!

Be better off asking on a corsa owners forum.

Also better getting a full set of springs and matching shocks. Lowering springs will slowly kill the standard shocks.

You could just not bother and get a better car instead.

Suspect you'll get a lot of abuse here about lowering a Corsa. Lots of remarks about ruining the ride etc.

Would advise you ask on the Vauxhall/Corsa owner's clubs. You should be able to get a set of lowering springs for the standard shockers.

Was the Corsa SRI lower than standard? If so you might be able to get a set of those springs.

Some lowering springs will ruin the ride, some might actually make it better. You'll need to research which brands are recommended, I would do that rather than buy on price. It'll be a PITA if you have to take them back off in 6 months time...

You can just swap the springs, but chances are the shocks will be knackered anyway.
I got a set of adjustable coilovers for my Corsa B Sport and it was a Hooj inprovement over the Apex stuff fitted to it.
