Originally posted by CorsaJohn: just gonna order sum shocks to lower it further 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.

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.

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.

Originally posted by CorsaJohn: the shocks will conpress my current springs more scoob 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.
