    Default Need Some Advice!

    I have a 03 2.2 dti vectra and just got my hands on some 19" snowies. Im looking to lower my car around 40mm i wanted to know what the best make of springs are that dont make the ride 2 harsh! ive had coilovers on past cars and regretted spending the money on the shocks n springs kits!
    If i could get some advice from people that are happy with their shocks that arent too pricey!

    thanks, marc

    Eibach are pretty much regarded as the best uprated spring while still keeping a good ride when your pottering around. I've got mine matched with B4's, but many guys put B6's and even B8's on.

    Different rated Bilstein shocks mate. B4 being just up from stock and B8 the hardest and best suited to very low cars. Some for Sale HERE at a good price.

    No probs mate. I have this combo on my SRi and am over the moon with it. You still keep the ride of the stock SRi but push it into a corner or under braking and it firms right up.
