    Default Facelift Sri Lowering advice ?

    Hi thinking of lowering my 1.8l facelift sri vectra but need some advice.

    sri is already pretty low but how much can you safely lower it without any scrubbing especially with about 4 people in the car ?

    Also can anyone recommend springs if they have already done this.

    Sri comes 15 mm lower already so another 20 mm to make it 35mm i think will be perfect just sits nicley but members have gone even lower too and also depends on ur budget mate coilovers or just lowering springs

    will probably go for just springs 35mm seems to be the best bet all the rest are a bit of an extreme drop still want the car to be usable as something other than a snowplow

    I'm lowering mine on 40mm springs on Monday. Will let you know how it is if you haven't lowered yours already.

    Lowered on GMAX 40mm springs. Love the front but think the rear could do with going a bit lower.001.jpg

    They will settle down a bit more in the coming weeks and it will be spot on mate.

    Oh I hope so. I get incredibly impatient and want things to happen now! I have even filled the boot with junk to add that little bit of extra weight :-)
