Lowering
thinking about lowering gf's car in a few weeks (may end up being after christmas) and looking around for prices on springs etc. Have found this set which lowers the rde height by 50mm front and rear. The car will be on 15's (eventually - hoping to win lottery soon lol). Does this set look ok and would the car lowered 50mm look ok on 15's or would a 60mm set be better?

They look fine to me, not sure on the ride quality though as I've never heard of the Manufacturer.

mines 80mm on front and 60 on back, soon to be 80 on back aswell. and mines on 15s, but their high profile tyres so the car is sat over the tyres, but not very low to the ground, if youv got low profile tyres your corsa will look sound at 60mm over 15s mate.

The kit described at the start of the thread is by Streetline (£160), which is the set I've just ordered.

Dave @ V-Sport in Durham rates them as far better than the Gmax (£200) setup for people on a budget. The retailer (Evo-R) is well reknowned too.

Can't say I really value Dave A's opinion, I'm not a fan of his.

Although that's not to say it isn't a good piece of kit though .
