lowering springs (any pics)

[JonnySRI]

Hi I am looking to get some lowering springs for my 2006 vectra sri but not sure how much to lower it. I wondered if anyone one has any pics of there cars lowered with 19in snow flake wheels so I can see what it would look like? 35mm or 45mm?
Thanks Jon

i read on another post that u can use just springs up to 40 /45 mm on standard SRI shocks i would jst go for 40 max to be safe.

Is the SRI fitted with uprated shocks or anything. Or just lower springs?

i wouldnt go any lower than 35mm on standard shocks as your going to shorten the life of your shocks

Thanks for the advice guys, wasn't sure how low i could go on standard shocks. Does anyone know if i can lower it 35mm with 19's on with no catching?

Thanks.

I take it u have an Sri?? The sri's are 15 mm lower than the more basic models so take 15 mm away from the sise u want to lower as for the 19's not to sure bud its a big car so I dont see any problems.

Mines 40mm, standard shocks, snowies and spacers, no rubbing whatsoever... Still on original factory shocks and lowered years ago, plus my cars 9 year old so they can take it...
