Corsa Shocks

[AJC]

Ok, so I am gonna go the corsa rear shock route with 05 matiz rear springs to drop the rear, I know I need M10 bolts, but what length do I need? I got a box full of M10's but the longest is 70mm, this gonna be long enough? I am gonna do alto springs on the front so this should give me a 50mm drop, with 15" wheels it should sit nice.

you need the same length as the stock bolts AJ, 60ish ? and i had to fit some rubbers back onto the top perch look (else i got a "twang" on speedbumps)

that's cool, cheers frank, didn't want to get some new bolts when I got a box already, I will prob need to cut down the 70mm ones, but I will see how they fit, what rubbers did you use mate?

 

[frank]

not sure what the rubbers were off tbh mate, here,s the later alto (left) they,re slightly barrel shaped, but the ends are bang-on dia
and the later matiz ones (middle) and a HKS front lowering spring

70mm shouldn't need cutting, my corsas and now my polos are held with a 75mm bolt I think and there's no problems

cheers Joe, just wanted to be sure, and I am sure I can find some rubbers to use from the rubbish scrappies round here lol
