    Default springs?

    my car is sitting couple cm lower on one side at the rear ao. putting it down to a broken spring now. not going to put gm ones on as I might aswel put chocolate springs in. so how much should I lower it. my budget not a lot due to wedding and I have 18inch wheels on. was thinking lo 45mm springs but it's a daily car and there are speed bumps.30mm I feel tho that's not enough and won't look as good. I want looks and good handling. thanks

    Meet in the middle, get some custom 37.5mm ones made

    40 or 45's are fine, standard Vectra's are like tractors anyway so lower the better, parking nose to kerbs is my only issue with both mine...
