I am just about to put 15's on mine, i will let you know but it sounds like the other said a design fault, after all they could'nt fit the steering wheel or pedals which you look at every day straight why worry about the rest!!!! :crazyeye:
does it not affect the handeling? (never driven mine with the 60 mm springs n 15" alloys so i dont know yet) is there a reson for it? are euro novas the other way round? vauxhall need to answer some questions!

As i said i am putting 15's on and its alredy lowered 60mm(pi springs) on sr 14inch wheels but they are on a 60 or65 profile (we are sailing...!) where-as the 15's are on 45's, ive also got Anti roll bars front and rear, poly bushes all round and gas shocks (shortened on the rear), this is pretty much a similar set-up to the rally car and they must suffer from the pre-mentioned 'fault' and they go pretty well, so i am guessing it has no effect, not a lot you can do anyway! I have heard you can fit a Corsa rear beam, don't know if they have this fault/if it will cure it, but i am guessing they're just the same, as i said with the nova steering wheel and pedals,its the same on the corsa.
when vauxhall decided to spend millions re-designing the nova and came up with the corsa, some-one said.. "What about sorting the pedals and wheels?" he got the reply "well no-one's noticed and complained yet!!!"

ditch the front antiroll bar
you'll find it handles much nicer without it
