quick question are nova and corsa springs the same. eg will pi springs out of a corsa fit a nova?

Corsa B and Nova springs are interchangeable, but as novas are lighter they'll sit higher than a corsa would on the same springs.

When I was looking for a set of Eibachs I thought about getting Corsa B ones, as the Nova ones weren't available. A couple of people I spoke to told me not to bother as the Corsa ones, being for a heavier car, had a larger spring rate and would make the ride unbearable. I didn't do it in the end, so I don't know if it's true or not...

I got my mates 60mm gmax shocks/springs($hitty yeah but they were v cheap) and it was on its ar$e, no problems there.

I see what you mean RE the weight difference though...

Corsa's feel underdamped (over sprung) from the factory anyway.

most sus kits carry the same part nos however.
