    I have had my SRi lowered with VXR Eibach springs. HUGE difference.

    Very pleased. Will be going back for more soon but this is excellent.

    Personally I would give Dave Pearce a call at Triple Eight (0870 242 4334) and discuss spring options before going the full hog.

    Coilovers tend to be very hard.

    ive got KW coilovers on mine and its a very very hard ride.
    i used FK coilovers on my corsa and loved them, again very hard ride.

    i wanted FK coils on my vectra but at the time they hadnt been made.

    if u want a comfy ride i would stay away from coilovers.

    hope this helps
