Hi, just a quick question, as soon as my mounts arrive I'm throwing an SEH into my Corsa. I'm on a strict budget with it so I've bought myself a set of Koni Adjustable Shocks and have 40mm Eibach Springs to fit into them. Should this be sufficiant considering I can adjust the damper to a stiffer setting if required?

Ideally you should use higher poundage springs too Dod.

Stiffening the dampers works to certain extent but as experienced by a few can lead to popping the dampers' seals.

Anything "Budget" that will get me away?

There are a few 'XE specific' poundage springs out there but I can't remember them off the top of my head. I'll have a look but for now the ones that spring to mind are:

GAZ
Rallydesign
Coilsprings
Chris Astley?

Courtney sell the correct springs, think they only lower about 30mm?

WOW, thats gonna **** my budget a bit so. I had thought about Vectra Springs cut down to suit the height but i've been advised against it but TBH the Nova front seems a lot lighter so I'm thinking this might just work...

I'll keep you all posted. Cheers lads. :thumb:
