Tony Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Rear of a 08 Corsa, independent coil and oil configuration Three helix closed leaving two and a half for total bump.... A progressive coil with adjustable trim at the sprung area... Can anyone enlighten me on this configuration because i've missed a verse somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 that looks like something from Horror... ie; like it's mis-fitted or some such ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 It sucks... by design these progressive coils shouldn't be closed, it looks like a rate issue and shows poor evolution by the designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boost mad Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 are they after market shocks too ? Are the shocks matched to the springs? If not the shocks could be shorter therefore not letting the spring decompress fully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
