suspension difference between: basic, sxi, sri

[ghostino]

basically i just want to know what the diffence is between the height of suspension between the different models.

is an SRI any lower than an SXI.

im sure that my SXI is lower than a basic model corsa as well?



someone please explain.

SRi's have -15mm springs, and gas filled shocks

SXi's have standard springs with liquid shocks

Your SXi isn't any lower than any other model

The only ones with different suspension are SRI's, Exclusivs and SXI+'s, and the 1.7 Diesels do as well due to the extra wieght i think.

It depends on the engine size (at least for later model years). 1.4 SXi is lowered 15mm. This is from the 2006 Corsa brochure...

Suspension
Front:
Independent. MacPherson struts with gas-pressure damper cartridge and coil springs. Anti-roll bar.

Rear:

Compound crank with progressive-rate mini-block coil springs and gas-pressure dampers (1.0i 12v/1.2i 16v/1.3CDTi 16v). Torsion tube with compound links, progressive-rate double conical mini-block springs and gas-pressure dampers (1.4i 16v/1.8i 16v).

Suspension uprated and lowered by 15mm on SXi/SXi+ 1.4i 16v/1.8i 16v models

Your 1.2 isn't lowered, neither is a 1.2 SXi+.
