Lowering and handling

[jay229]

i have been told lowering the vec C's throws the handling out the window but i would of thought 40mill drop all round would be good for style and handling or am i being a novice again

Well I lowered mine which was an exclusive trim and it improved the handling, but then again that could just be because it sits higher than an SRI.

I lowered my previous 53plate Active model on -35mm apex springs on the standard shocks & the handling was totally transformed

nope your right ............looks and drives so much better when LOWERED

If you have standard non SRI shocks you won't notice anything and will throw the geometry of the suspension out the window. If you have a non SRI then invest in shocks too.

Your right, lowering a Vectra C does throw the handling out the window.

Reduces the standard massive amounts of understeer, gives you better steering feedback and looks a whole heap better, not to mention, lowering the centre mass of any vehicle is always a good thing.

as above... even just changing the springs will improve things no end

whichever twonk told you that talks utter ****e ! lowering the C on eibachs in particular is the best mod you can do by far IMO

Having had mine lowered yesterday on 30mm Eibachs at the back and 30mm Supersport coilovers at the front I can confirm that it just flys round bends now. Not even a twitch.

lowering will only knacker the handling if done to too much of an extreme or it is done stupidly, yes it will trow your geometry out but some front camber bolts and a decent laser alignment will sort that out no probs
