Has anyone tried using Vauxhall Corsa 'C' springs to lower a Micra K12? They appear top be physically identical, but just a bit shorter than the Micra springs...........
Corsa C rears shown below.

Well any thought Mika? The fronts and rear springs look to be directly replaceable and they are available very cheaply........Anyone on here able to measure a set of K12 springs off of the car to get the uncompressed length?

I just realized that I have original springs in my carriage. I will try to remember measure them on Monday :confused:
Can you measure the wire diameter as well Mika? Be interesting to see if the SR springs are the same as the Sport+ ones. Also are your rear dampers marked with a blue or purple band? (the purple ones were supposedly stiffer and designate 'Sports' suspension, which surprisingly was not fitted as standard to all SR's or Sport+ models :confused: ). On a completely different subject I fitted my modified CC rear mudflaps today, no pictures yet as the car is VERY dirty:eek:
