I would like to put 15 inch alloys on my car and have a drop of about 35-40 how much would it cost to get the springs fitted? and do you think i would have to get any arch work done ?

youd be looking at around £50 to get them fitted and you definatly shouldnt need any arch work you should be able to drop it 60mm and have 15s but i think you could put 16s on

you can put 16\'s on with a 60 drop without archwork as long as you use 195/40 profile tyres. get anyone in the back tho and it\'ll rub like a bitch

Funny you should say this.........

15\" alloys with a -50mm drop

195-45-15\'s but i have no sidewalls left as its warn through the plastic arch and gone into the metal where it has rubbed the sidewalls of the tyres off!

Nothing a hammer won\'t sort :lol:

I dropped my last Corsa -80mm (on Nova springs) and stuck 15s on with 195/50s on. Didn\'t rub even with people in back and cornered mint! The wheels were a et49 offset tho.

I\'m on a -40mm drop with 16s on now (194/45 tyres). With et40 alloys on. No rubbing ever with a full house! Got full lock and everything! Haven\'t touched arches.

I heard you could do this but a lot of people on corsa sport say the corsa and nova springs are the same, even have the same part number? might give it a go, could be a cheaper alternative than coilovers to get mine lower and i already have uprated shocks

It definitely lowered it more than -60mm. When I stuck those 14s on it, it was on the deck! It definitely lowers it more as a Corsa is a heavier car.
