Hey guys I wanted to know what other car struts fit in the rear as I've got alto springs in the rear with 1.5 coils chopped off but are not captive when jacked in the rear, are the corsa b ones short enough to hold the springs captive when jacked? I've got about 80mm of lows gained :)

Also I read somewhere that if you jack up the car on the panhard rod a bit you can correct the back as my driver side wheel keeps touching the fender

Thanks guys! Will post pics soon but first want to get the panhard rod issue sorted and the shorter strut also in the rear, it's really difficult for me to get an adj panhard rod since I live in the caribbean and the adj rod + shipping and other fees would be around 500$ and can't afford that atm, any help is appreciated

Corsa b dampers are quite short. They're only cheap. Just try one. Ive got an adjustable panhard rod to bring the axle in line. I suggest you do the same. You can alter heights at will then.

just on the edge of the tyre on the outer side, since it's so low it keeps rubbing on the fender
