springs on a corsa

[camper damper]

Will a set of springs for a 1L corsa fit a 1.2L

Thanks

Pretty sure they do.

[penrhynrallycentre]

yes they will no probs at all BUT if you can get hold of a set off a Diesel corsa they are far better,they will improve your handling no end and give a far superior ride

yes all corsa suspension of the same model age (so b, c etc) are interchangeable, only thing to take note of is if the springs are off a model with a bigger (read heavier) engine, e.g. putting diesel springs on 1.0 will make it stiffer (and higher) - so a set of diesel springs with a tiny bit of trimmage are the best standard ones to go for on a corsa b.

don't cut vauxhall springs , they are pig tailed and it ruins them , normal springs are fine,.

Hi-Are combo van front springs the same as diesel ones??

[camper damper]

thanks looks like my corsa is getting lower springs

[camper damper]

Back again will 40mm spring do much for the look or will i be better of with 60mm and is there anything else needed if i go 60mm reason i ask is one of the front spring and back springs is snapped so why not lower it

[prey]

*personally* i'd say 40 on a standard 1.2 will be a nice upgrade handling wise but still look pretty standard, 60 will look like it's lowered but to look 'low' a corsa b needs to go down quite a bit more than that - so it's just preference really - if you have a scout on migweb, png and corsasport you'll find loads of pics of people with various drops going on to help you make your mind up.

i have a corsa b td that's on coilovers and i'd guess thats about 80 mil down and it still rides ok and has miles of clearance underneath.

I'm going 60mm seen a few on line and it seams like a nice drop

[Minikidx14]

I would go 100mm




this is 120mm

With what I have in the car and where I drive 100mm would be to low I don't have speed bumps or that I have worst then that POT HOLE that can eat a house

Standard ride height, 13ins steels.



Standard ride height, 14ins Cav TD wheels



-40mm ebay springs, 14ins Cav TD wheels



That was the day I fitted the springs, they settled a touch lower than that. However, no pics as the car was written off a couple of weeks later If I did it again, I'd go for 60mm ones.
