Why do you want coilovers when your looking to lower your C 30mm? You maybe looking for a better ride etc?
I got my FK coilovers from venom motorsport but id get hold of 2modified on here as he does a good deal!

Hope this helps! :thumbs:

You could go down 40mm on 17" if you wanted to mate but the ride would be much better on coilovers

once u have the them fitted on the front and put the front wheels on u'll see what needs trimming - just take a sharp knife, trim the lip of the plastic arch and the inside arch liner bit, all depends on how low u go too.

Hi,

I have been heavily considering getting a set of these FK highsport coilovers for my corsa c.
i have some questions that i was wonder if any of the people who have them installed can answer
1) whats the minimum you can get the front lowered? i have a SRi and i dont really want the front any lower for practicality reasons
2) someone said something about using coilover spacers to fix the above problem, do such a thing exist?


thanks

i just thought about this answer.... and i have the sri which already has lowered suspension, so i'm guessing that the -30mm would be based on the regular corsa suspension?


thanks
