Info on lowering

[gwr310188]

Hello I'm new to the forum, I just want some more info on lowering my K11 the alto\corsa way.

So I understand that you need alto 1998 rear springs all round on the Micra (front and rear), are these standard alto springs or lowering alto springs?????

Next is do I need corsa shocks all round (front and rear) or just front??? and its from a MK 1 corsa????

Last thing found this on ebay would it work????

Standard Alto springs. You only need to change the rear Dampers with Corsa b ones.

So would the following work

shocks/dampers

@ £84 for 4 springs, you may as well buy specific lowering springs
the point of buying alto springs was for oem quality at scrapyard prices

Will the alto springs make it lower than the specific Micra loweeing springs???

I didn't on standard steelies.
But if you're fitting new wheels, then yes you would need one
