hi. I´m looking for some lowering springs for my vec turbo.

but I have one question, the car is already lowered 20mm from factory. so if i buy a 35mm kit. will the car only be 15mm lower than it is today?

Andy,

Yes to your question.

I have just lowered mine, and i had the same problem, i used Eibach Springs and Bilstein Shocks. It handles really well, but not happy with how low it sits.

Check this thread out by me, i asked a very similar question, some members have posted pictures of their car's. I think once i am back to work again, i am gonna put mine on -45mm springs, as it sits nice and low. -30mm isnt enough for me.

As far as i'm aware of thats correct. I couple of people off here have put -45mm springs on theirs

so what I´m looking for is PI 45mm lowering springs.
is that what PIMM has on his car?

how do you find this springs on the internet?
price?

thanks for very good answer!

oh right, the ones here:- http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/v...ring_kits.html only do a -30mm for the estate. I'm sure if you do a google search on vectra c lowering springs you should find more

I assume the rear springs on the estate are stiffer than the hatch/saloon ones to compensate for the heavier loads that could be carried in the estate. Dont quote me on that though

When i ordered my springs, i had to tell them the sapring rating's for the car, so they could make sue they sent the right one's out. There is a plate on the B Pillar(drivers side) that tells you all need to know.
