Forums Forums CorsaJohns : Vauxhall Corsa 1.4i

John, Shocks Will NOT lower it further, shock absorbers simply dampen the spring action, they stop the spring osilating (Going bouncy, Bouncy, Bounce) and thats it. Its the springs that determine the ride height.

I had a sneak preview whilst down at Automotion the other day and i got to say mate, i was well well impressed

Sounds like its about time to arrange a photoshoot for CW members to obtain some high quality pictures.

looking good mate, proper nice motor now, keep it up

its lookin amazin john, the smoothed boot looks stylish, i cant think any any more mods you cud do mate, top job

the shocks will conpress my current springs more scoob as if u put mine an marks car together we are both on 60mm springs at the rear an his are lower cos im on standard shocks they are as hard ther for givin the spring more giv

cheers matty but theres loads i can think of ie *smooth scuddle panel
*wheel refurbs an im thinkin new side skirts are on the cards in future

when i changed my shocks an spring i cud tell the difrecne in the hight of the shocks ill get some pics up when we do jonhs

the shocks will defo bring it down mate, i reckon another 20mm, looks lovely mate, yeah those women were funny but i though i would leave you to talk to them , lol

just found a pic of 17s on 60mm springs an shocks

mmmmmmmm roll of next week

ooo lookin really nice now john, look so much better colour coded

Both cars look really nice.
Smooth boots, it's just the pain of where to put the number plate without spoiling the smoothness of it.

I would've agreed with Scooby, the shocks don't reduce any height, the pistons just sit loose in the cylinder and go up and down, adjustables only tighten up the bound.

NICE!!!! >

But dont forget you have bigger wheels, so it will look like the car sits higher at the back.

When i put my steelies on my ka it looked so low because of the smaller 13" wheels.

Okay, what do i know anyways

Maybe your springs are higher poundage therefore no sag, or maybe they are not a true 60mm drop, maybe the diamater of your tyres is larger than the other corsa your comparing it against, but you spend your hard earned pennies on shox and then come back and tell me that your car is still the same height.

o wel its only money what else am i meant to spend it on, onyl time wil tel even if it dusnt go lower least i will hav uprated shocks which are beta then my standard ones

True, anyways the car looks like the dogz danglies mate

Did Automotion do a good job for you ?

yeah im really impressed with it smooth boot is sooooo smooth not one fault just happy overal as bin mentioned only the ride height that im not happy with but i like it loooooow!
