    Default for corsa c owners

    i have asked about on some corsa web pages if nova /corsa b springs fit on a corsa c. all i kept getting of the bunch of un mechanically minded spice boys saying corsa c springs are for corsa c's and novas are for novas and so on. yes i under stand the lbs wood be wrong but all i wanted to no if push came to shove will they fit. well the answer is yes take your nova standard or lowering spring turn it up side down small end to the top big end to the bottom and it fits.

    i also asked were can i buy bottom ball joints for cheep and not nasty ones off ebay.

    there response was well how you going to get the old ball joints off there riveted on and the kit a waist of time there is parts in there that don't even go any were let alown belong on a corsa c (he means the nuts and bolts as standards are riveted on).

    me: grind the top of the heads off and punch the rest out and every think seams to be there in the pics.

    them: punch them out that will hurt how you going to fix them back on.

    me: really with nuts and bolts provided in the kit.

    them: or that what there for i did wonder .

    so if i was you i wood keep away from there page and ask some were els some really don't have a clue. there will be some good peeps on there some were that no what there on about but i am yet to fined them rant over.

    I found Corsa-C.co.uk to be very unhelpful too all young kids that have no mechanical knowledge, just what colour gearknob is in fashion this week...try Migweb if PNG can't help, which 9 times out of 10 it does no matter what car

    Corsa c springs are a lot longer than nova springs which would fit but if I remember correctly the tyres catch on the bodywork - maybe standard height nova springs might be ok
