    Default can I put corsa springs on a Nova?

    Hi one of my mates gave me a complete set of springs/shockers from a corsa B (the same engine as post 1991 1.2i nova). i assume I can just put the whole set on, they are almost new (removed from his car years ago)they are in excellent condition and the standard factory items. They look like they are exactly the same as Nova ones.

    And vice versur, but Nova springs on Corsa's make Corsa very low indeed (rear coils compress so much they touch)

    Corsa springs will raise the ride height of a nova by approx 10 to 15mm, so if you fit standard Corsa springs, you'll jack the Nova up on stilts.

    As a rule of thumb, a 60mm corsa drop kit will lower a Nova only about 45mm
