Re: my UK 08 kalos 3 door
so you didnt bolt in corsa struts?
please find out asap i have a source for corsa parts state side. if these in deed bolt on, then it would be about the same option as what i am building (ie better for you guys than what i am already doing).
btw, i have a 4th set of coil overs coming to test fit for a better outcome.

Damn, it looks backwards. I don't reckon there's any possibility of mixing up the front and back ones? Looks good though, that's about how low I want mine in the back...slammed. Mine would need to be lower in the front for sure. The price isn't bad at all though. Good work mate.

Re: my UK 08 kalos 3 door
the ride is not to hard at all. so I am happy with that. I will need to get smaller shocks to go on the back as the springs are so small. the corsa D has the same suspension on the back so I am getting shocks to fit a corsa to try
if you guys want to go even lower you can get 60mm drop springs to go on the back but that will be very very low
also I have been looking at the front and it looks spot on the same. but I will not say they will fit till I try them. but as the corsa D is still a brand new car over here there are not alot of them in the junk yards yet. but I will keep looking

Re: my UK 08 kalos 3 door
i ended up putting shocks on the back off a 1999 mustang about 4" shorter than stock fully extended, never bottom out, but "top" ut once in a while on a hard 90... (lift a rear wheel)
i guess i will keep working on my solution... i have all the parts ready to go, but really looking for a true/affordable/viable solution that is not from me... (know what i mean?)

Re: my UK 08 kalos 3 door
the corsa shocks look the same and also I will be looking around the junk yard to see what I can find to fit it.
did the mustang shocks just bolt on or did you need to work on them first to get them to fit ? and what model was they from as I also own american left hand drive cars so I am good mates with my parts guy and he could get some for me.

I used the stock mustang washer and then the top mount off the aveo. For the bottom it needed @10mm spacer collar. I pit it on the inside side instead of 2 5 mm spacer to push the bottom of the shock out. The bolt sleeve on the shock I also put a additional sleeve in like 1-2mm diameter difference.
Works really well any rear shock for 1980-2005 fox mess mustang will work hey even have bilstiens sports but they are an additional inch shorter so I would think it would top out more.
