lowering kits
if youre gonna lower a car youve got to do it properly,its no good fitting springs and dampers and just leaving it like that,youve got to uprate the bushes and check and alter the tracking,also fitting strut braces takes the extra stress off the bodywork caused by lowering it,youre tyres wear out a lot quicker if you dont do it all properly.even if you just fit lowering springs it causes a lot more wear on the standard shocks and also the steering assemblies,my mate just fitted lowering springs on his puma about 3 months ago and its already damaged his rear dampers/cost him £200 to pass his mot just cos off that!!! the whole set up of the car is affected by lowering it,,do you think that touring cars have just lowering kits fitted and thats it!!there is a lot more too it than that,,a badly
fitted or badly set up suspension is very very dangerous and **will** affect handling and braking in a bad way,slamming youre car and not changing the other affected parts is gonna seriously **** them up and you may end up with a death trap.i realise corsa c is a new car but fitting lowering kits to older cars causes massive amounts of stress on all the components and the bodywork,thats the whole point of suspension,to protect the chassis and the handling and pressures on the components,if your gonna do it ,do it right,my suspension is standard(17"s fitted)and it looks fine,its not slammed but its not riding high either,the sxi actually comes with sporty suspension as standard!!!,also my teeth arent rattled out by all the potholes!!!
