    Default Lowering springs

    Hi guys
    Been offered some lowering springs for my vectra Sri but have a question.
    One set is off a breaker but they are not sure if brand or drop in mm so I am bit sceptical my question is what mm drop are usually available the springs are red and don't seem to have any part numbers on there

    Or I have been offered a set of apex 35mm but unsure if will be happy with drop

    Thanks

    It won’t handle great if the shocks are in poor condition, to answer the question from what I can work out.

    30mm
    35mm
    40mm
    60mm

    You don’t specify what drop you want or what body your car is.

    Thanks guys seems to be the apex get a good reviews especially for the price. I was just concerned 35mm wouldn't be low enough but after seeing a few pics it probably would be

    Sorry I didn't explain I was just after the possible drop of the red springs as had no info on them but maybe the apex are safer bet

    I have a 2008 Sri xp 1.9cdti hatch looking for nice drop not too low as its the family car
