40mm or 60mm

[NOVA-KID-93]

hi i have a 93 1.2 nova and i havent got much to spend so i am thinking of corsa gsi/sri shocks/dampers with a lowering spring kit but don't know whether to go for 40mm all around or 60mm what do you think?

-100mm

or get a set of coilovers for £150 then have it the height you want it

You need to lower your car a minimum of 60mm or it'll still look high. Most importnatly, what size and kind of wheels have you on it as you may have clearance issues if they're the incorrect offset.

i went to scrappy for a few bits yesterday and found some g-max corsa lowering springs and shock absorbers but i could only find the rears they were in pretty good condition he only wanted a tenner so i bought them i've put them on tonight and i am going to the scrappy again tomorro to get some other bits so i'll look for the fronts not sure if they are 40mm or 60mm but they'll do for a bit i'll post pics soon.

Good result and nice choise on the wheels, perfect fit and lowerability to 100mm or more.

suspension is still settleing down cos its bin jacked up and with front end still on standard suspension i cant tell how much the suspension has lowered it by but i'm abit worried weather the rear arches will catch on wheels when going over bumps or when its fully loaded, so i dont know weather to get them done when it goes to bodyshop for re-spray or just to bend them up na touch with a little bit of persuasion with a hammer!:)

just grind a little bit off the arch lip

[rodgers]

if you go hammering the lip up you crack the paint and make it look a mess, grind it off nice and neat then give it some protection

[NOVA-KID-93]

true it would crack paint, i'll have a play at the weekend and get it sorted

Im down 80mm on 17's and it doesnt rub.

I can even have people in the back, but then the wheels dont move lol

Still... no rubbing :)

Na, your arches wont catch mate, even with 3 in the back, the outer lip should be fine.
