Yes. It'll just have the heavier duty shocks and springs for the extra weight but if you want lows then use 1.0 kit

The corsa/corsa van is coil springs. The combo van is single leaf spring. Very different

Yeah as said the combo have leaf springs,

But there easy lowered you just fabricate lowering blocks, you might be able to buy them but I haven't seen them for sale this past while


Edit: you have to flip the axle first to lower it and then you need lowering blocks if you want lower again :)
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Okay that's. Awesome thanks for the info !! Makes sence that it would be leafys and that for the weight! was also wondering if the axle is different tho as I would be nice to change to discs all round so could you drop it onto a sport rear instead and just run new brake lines ?

Just came across these after a bit of searching and wondering if they would work with the rear axle for lowering ?

Yeah they could probably be used with little to none work

But you need to flip the axle first and that by itself will lower it a fair bit, so do it first and then you'll know how much if any lower you want to go
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
