cheapest way to drop her down?

Low3sy

can any 1 shed sum light on the cheapest way to drop my astra down say 40ml or so as ive added 17's to it and im very disapointed as the low profile tyres have just increased the gap between tyre and arch! want to drop it for handling as well as looks obviously? dunno..

30mm eibach will be fine.

I think many members on another forum are on silverline i think

They look a bit like this but can be bought for around £160

get a blow torch on the springs lol if u want it that cheap

i got irmscher sri shocks and jamex springs on mine and it is a bit bouncy but that's what i want considering the roads around here, pot holes everywhere and i would end up going beserk with all those massive banging noises, she hasnt bottomed out yet which is good also

why do it on the cheap either properly or not at all IMO lol

Get a set of decent springs and some shocks when ya can afford them don't ruin the cars handling with cheap springs.

I would say 30mm Eibachs are ok on good standard shocks.

As said unless you are going to get a decent setup dont waste your money.

Don't waste your money on poor quality items as you will regret it in the long run. Poor handling and rough ride are difficult to live with.

Totally agree with the above comments. I've had Eibach springs on my last two cars, and they were great.
