Know how you feel. I just did a similar journey in January to buy my Corrado. Good luck with it.

Heres mine on a set of H&R coliovers. Cant remember how much I lowered it by.

Sorry I thought the question was should you lower your storm or keep it standard. I was just giving you some pictures of mine to help you make your mind up. I have deleted the pictures.

Didnt like the 4x4 look on my Storm so added a H&R Coilover Kit. Looks much better IMO (see avatar picture). Kept the original suspension so I can replace it to go back to a stock look if required.

This is exactly the reason why when I bought my Storm I went for the Classic Green version. The black interior on the Mystic Blue version is just toooooo depressing :cry: The creme black interior is much nicer IMO.

No No No. Definately No. :nono:

Kev thanks for clarifying things. Thanks to everyone else who gave advice.

Guys just to clarify things. I am running on standard BBS Solitudes 15inch and don't intend changing them as I want to keep the car standard. So which would be best the 5mm spacers or the 8mm spacers. If its the 8mm ones then do I need to really use them at the front as well?

I spoke to the guys I bought the coilovers from and they have two different widths of spacers and I would like some advice on which to get.. He is doing them at cost as I bought the coilovers from him. H&R DR Spacer 5mm H&R DR Spacer 8mm You guys are saying 5mm is enough but the guy I am buying them off is advising 8mm for more clearance and because he thinks it looks a better spacer. There is only £5 difference between them although he did say that long term I might be better to use the same spacers on the fronts to ensure there is no visual difference. What do you think? I dont want to spend any money I dont have to spend !

AmbisoniK thanks for the info. vwcvr6 I find the ride pretty good - given that a lot of the roads I use would not be particularly smooth :-( I don't remember how much I dropped but you can get an idea from the picture below. I had the rear lower but found the ride a little harsh, although it would look better.

Thanks. I'll try that.

I have a new set of H&R coilovers fitted and running on standard 15" BBS solitudes. The rear tyres are rubbing slightly on the springs - removing the paint on the spring. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks

I placed my tweeters in the dash - replacing the speakers already there and using the circular surround to provide a base for my new tweeters. Worked a treat and looks original. You just need to be careful when removing the old tweeter and cutting the hole. See images P1, P2 and P3 below for how it works/looks.

Well I got the kit installed yesterday. I am very pleased with the head unit but definately think the front components need a bit more bass support so I will look into getting a sub. Thanks DEL VR6 for the name of the Vibe sub you found good. Bennyd thanks for the offer of stealth shelf and speakers but I dont want rears and think I Will stick to a sub to fill the hole left by the front components.

Thanks guys for all the help. This is what makes the corrado forum great. :) I think I will take your advice and forget about rears. If Im not happy with the base then I can look about a small powered sub. I am going to fit it all over the weekend so I will let you all know what I think of the sound.
