The rear spring adjusters, that come with the cheap ebay coilover kits one there own?

Ive looked one ebay but can't seem to find any, sure I did see them on there before

Need to drop the rear, but I don't want to start buying springs to get the height I want, so thinking this could be a option

Anyone using these ATM ? Opinions on them

Any help would be great

You'd need to buy them with the springs, just adding the adjusters to your current springs would only let you raise the hieght

They just act like a spacer between the beam and the spring so by fitting them to the car as it stands now will actually raise it up by about 10mm as it's sitting the spring higher on the beam.
The only way you will get the car lower is to shorten the spring or buy a shorter spring.

Oh right, so really I just as well get a set of rear springs instead then ?

If you just want to lower the car more, then yes.

Plenty of mega low ones normally on corsa sport, I have -90s in mine with the orange rubber pads from flow flex so I'd guess it was more like minus eighty now

These any good for £30 to you Edd? Pic of rideheight on 195/45R15s in the thread so you can gauge if they give the right drop
