I've got a 1.0 12v Corsa Active, it's completly standard at the moment. I want to drop it down a bit as i quite like the standard 15z not really interested in getting new wheels at the moment.

What is a good amount to drop my corsa by? Where can i get it done? How much will it cost? Will it raise my insurance?

Thanks
Andy

PS It's the Facelift model if that make anydifference.

Drop it 40mm mate.

Apex springs at about £80 from PVD.

Had them on my corsa c and they looked **** hot.

Best value for money

If you can afford it, get shocks also. I've got just springs on mine at the mo and it's bouncy as hell. Gonna get some coilovers when the body kit is on.

on std wheels, i'd agree with -40mm or lower.

i'm currently have the -30mm eibach pro kit. cant fault it at all really - quality springs.
