exhaust is about 5/10mm off the floor...
Needs to be 15mm lower IMO
Lmao/\
How have you got it that low? Cut springs?
Too low IMO, unpractical, bet it handles terribly too.
It is definently pretty slammed though.

Looks quality though :D:thumb:
no springs in, as i took them out as i was going to sell them tonight (90mms)
but been told 100mm rear springs are equal to about the same as no springs, so went round the block just to see what its going to be like, and it just scraped on everythink...
so going to stick with the 90s untill ive modded the backbox so it sits heigher, then il get the 100mms..

What dampers are you using?
You drove with no springs?????
You may have just f**ked your dampers
got spax rsx coilovers..
only drove it round the block, basically crawling round..
sure there fine, ive known people drive there corsa for ages with no springs, so round the block is nothing, wouldnt do it again though, going outside inasec to put the 90s back in...

you need to be careful looks mint but youll wreck the car in no time at all and already mentioned bet it handles like a bag of ,set the rear bout 60mm wont look to bad an will go round corners lol
as ive got spax rsx coilovers the back came with 60mm springs, which i changed for 90mms..
handles fine with 90mm rears.. :D
not sure how it was on the first page with no springs, as i crawled around the block lol..
sr_boi, please either start posting sensible stuff, that is NOVA related (ie not your bodged corsa). OR feck the hell off.

Rather you rusted up the floor pan of a corsa because you've lowered it so much it hits everything on the ground than doing that to a nova.

poor damo (raymond) got done by vosa for a slightly faulty handbrake when there are people driving around doing things like this!! just creates an even worse name for us all!
easily can tell when you spot them..
ive just spotted one :D :wtf:
lmao some people make me ****ing larf!
i took it round the block to see if it scrapes etc over the speed bumps because i was thinking about selling my 90mm rear springs for some 100mm rears...
good job i did because i found out that it scrapes everywhere, saved me £100 for not buying some 100mms..
its not like i drive my car 24/7 with no rear springs (like some people ive seen) and speed around like it aswell, i crawled round the block to see if it scraped...
I always find that if I crawl around the block it scrapes my knees :D
Try it with springs, you're knees'll be safe
funny guy ^
and where the **** did i brag about taking the springs out and driving it round the block lmao...
got nothing against novas but im sure my corsa is in better condition than some of the rot boxes on here lmao..
then you have no need to be here :p
larf!
"Larf" is that like Barfing(been sick) out of a diferent exit hole?
corsa rust just as much as novas do.. and youve on a "nova" site, can i ask you why you are here?
have you come to brag about how low your corsa is? at the end of the day.. wether your corsa is lowerd -30mm or -5200000000000mm... Face it.. your still a ****
i only use the forum to see what there is forsale etc, dont usually post things up because ****s like you twists things to make things look worse then they are...
driving round the block with no springs just to see if it scrapes before i pay £100 for 100mm springs (as it will be about the same right height)...
im sure theres people on here that have done worst things...
banned? why should i be banned, people have given there opinions and so have i, and thats perfectly fair as its a public forum..
im on here as ive had novas in the past, been a member for about 3 years..

I know, I just couldn't resist posting that lol
So why did you change it?
i was just saying in general..
most are rot boxes, as people on here will agree..
just dont understand why im getting so much stick for doing what i did today, sure most people in my situation today would have done the same to save £100 for going down the road with no rear springs..
seen chavs about who have no rear springs and are thrashing there cars about like ****s, when they could easily loose control and hurt/kill somebody, and i get stick for going very slow round the block to see if my scraped..
just shows what sort of people are on here..

Do you really think having no springs is going to tell you what having -100mm springs is like?
You've been going on and on about lowering, cutting springs and whatnot, making countless threads about it, if nothing else its getting boring.

SR Boi, dont listen to them, they're all jealous.
100mm rear springs puts the arch level with the rim edge (same as no springs)
thats why i tried it out, my aswell as i already had the springs out as i was going to sell them tonight, good job i did try as i wouldnt have had no springs to put back in so i couldnt have used the car, and then 100mm rears come and it scraped everywhere so i think it was a decent move to make...
good to see youve 100% missed the point of suspension dynamics
hell i've removed my springs and wheels....****ing slammed.... wicked mpg but seems to make a harsh racket, bit like metal on tarmac...anyone help on this? sri boy...keep up ya good work! rock out with ya springs out!
Agreed.
Stop picking on the lad.

think youre all a bit harsh lol all he said was he went round the block, iv done the exact same thing. not as if hes ragging it about, he just wanted to see what the clearence would be like, even tho tbh looking at how close that backbox is to the ground it was a bit obvious.
give the guy a break, im sure one day he'l learn the hardway and buy a nova eventually :)
ps. i know u tested the clearence, but by having 100s wont effect the handling compared to your 90s. im down 100 and it sticks to the roads ace, though it is a bit harsh lol
Im with Dar as mine is a rot box too.
lol.

Some people are just intent on lowering there cars beyond practicality.... I think your Corsa looks broken.
I wanted to see what my car would look like slammed on its belly, so stacked another 4 scrapped cars on its roof! Same effect.
if the front was the same id want to blow you off but as its not your just a wannabe my friend
and im sure i can remember sri_boi ripping a few people off and getting banned ???
i never got band, never sold anythink on here to rip anyone off :S
i could take the front lower, just wind the coilovers down but as ive said plenty of times i only took the rears out to sell them thats why it was that low on the back, but then decided to put them back in and keep them...

I meant in regards to those that think all Nova's should be GSi's with untouched bodywork, Speedlines and lowered no more than 40mm.
Sr_boi.
You are a prime reason why i'm dissapointed and ashamed to be part of this generation of retarded youth.
still... looks pretty sweet i think that low! low cars always look better!
everyones thoughts are different

Lol NO nova bodywork is untouched.. they've all had repairs etc with leads to resprays and smoothed bits etc..

That deserved a drum roll !

Not in terms of maintenance or preservation......seems like anything that detracts from white side repeaters and exhausts is deemed as being wrong/chav/disgusting!!

I think most people on here are more interested in how their Nova drives rather than asthetics. Not that anyone wants an ugly nova, but lowering your car -100mm doesn't improve its handling, it'll make it more annoying to drive on the road. The people who want to lower their car to extremes are more interested in looking cool than the negative affects it has on the car - such as the inner arches getting rubbed from the tyres and rusting..

what about that loon on ebay with only 800miles on the clock lol
ahh, but that loon needs repairs...
It should be noted that if you believe your car will sit the same height with no springs as it will with 100mm springs in, surely this tells you the springs will be pointless?
And it wasnt him who was ripping people off, it was someone called GSi bad boi. innit like.
this thread is funny :thumb:
