the rear of min is currently on -70mm springs though in a few previousd pictures was on -110mm springs. Unfortunately the rear end won't go much lower unless you start cutting into the rear turrets and modify the swingarm as far as I can see. Need to see pics of yours

Since you commented on my Nova project, I thought I should find yours buddy ;-) Years ago, when I was in the PNG, I raved to people about the potential of the Saloons and people thought I was being daft. The 3-door hatch was the only way to go back then. I'm so glad that more and more saloons are on the scene......there's always a few at the VBOA show at Billing. The low, small-wide-wheel look is the only look for me that works on these. A Saloon on the usual 16" Allessios wouldn't work, in the same way that small-wide-wheels don't work on a hatch IMO. This is looking well cool and I've always looked at the 4-door saloon as a mini-MK2CAV (which I drive daily). Keep up the good work and keep it running no matter what! We can't let these old Nova's die!

Tip for making it lower on the cheap dude, astra mk3 top mounts. Apparently they chop about an inch off. I was tempted to use them on mine (2door 1.0 Nova) but ended up using the original ones.

I'll look into getting some Not much change, but I couldn't resist these cheap Golf steels on ebay. I hoped they would suit the Nova and they actually turned out to look better than I thought, shame about the massive tires but they do make it a bit more comfortable hehe. Just need to clean them up really

Do you think this tip works on the Corsa B too? I have some lowering springs to fit, but would get some of these top mounts too if they fit/work... ...please feel free to call me a plonka if it's a stupid idea. (No don't, I'll cry). ;D Love your work, by the way.
