Dubmuffin Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Lowering springs are cheaper, but there'll always be a longing for more lows. Coilies are the best bet mate, you can adjust them to what suits you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James827 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 60mm front, and rear Coilover springs (70mm ish) spent £80 in total. although im running standard shocks right now, so im running 40mm rears until i can head on down to get some Corsa B rear shocks. (shorter so more Comfy!) im also running 13" 5 spoke standard Lupo jobbies. but ive tried on some 15" 7"(J) RH classics and they fitted like a glove! like PERFECT fitment imo. Just would need some Slightly smaller tyres so stop any rubbage on the Move. pretty cool Huh? got no Good pictures of the 70mm rears on mind but if money is no issue & your gunna be chopping and changing wheel sizes then id get some coilovers to be on the safe side as they can be adjusted to fit right!when i my car stops Playing up and everything il be on the prowl for coilovers mind..

jamiekg Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well I just so happen to have 2 2 week old avo adjustable rear corsa b shocks If I don't end up using them you want them ? I think I might consider fixed height and save till I'm not driving back roads so much, but the thought of major lows is always there isnt it With 14/15 inch wheels would I be best with 40mm or 60 you reckon ?
