Europa_Blue_SE1 Hi everyone just got a Astra coupe 2.2 SE1 😃 So far I have lowered her 55mmF/35mmR on H&R Springs and Dampers and Custom Manifold a 200cell sports Catt and back box I have a lot more planned for the engine but am gonna keep her reassonably standard on the exterior... Here's a pic of my Babya pic of my interiorAnd finnally a pic of both my Astras Hope yous like cheers..
Europa_Blue_SE1 Thanks for the welcome Andy... I find it fine and it also doesn't look any lower than the rear the springs are wound in a way that at low speed the suspension takes the bumps etc easy then when I am ragging her on the back roads they tighten up🙂 My hatchback is lowered 60mm Front and Rear on KW Variant/2 coilovers not nice even on the softest setting and with the kit on it is murder I wouldn't advise it! Loving the coupe mate...
Andy_Coupe Im tempted to drop mine more as its on 30mm eibach but after fitting the GSI front bumper it dont look low enough! Do you have a link to the kit you have fitted?
Matt Hi mate, welcome to the site, glad you finally got registered. Love the coupe, and the hatch looks the nuts! What model is it?
Europa_Blue_SE1 Andy it was my mechanic that sourced me the kit directly from H&R if you want I can get him to give me their site he called them direct though and luckily they were just releasing this new kit I left the box etc at the garage but I need to pop in anyway so I will ask him for the details mate... Hey Matt thanks for the e-mail mate I eventually got registered lol Thanks for the comments mate the Hatchback was a 1.6SXi though it now has a Z20LET engine that's the reason I sourced the coupe as I hated driving the hatchback stone chips etc and even though it's on coilovers I can't get her high enough for daily driving🙁 but I am loving the coupe I am gonna keep it mostly stock on the exterior mainly engine work...
Europa_Blue_SE1 Thanks for the welcome guys 🙂 blue SE2 any pics mate and vocky a bit off topic I know but any advice on the best mods to start with I have H&R Dampers & Springs and on the Engine side I have so far only added a custom exhaust system with a 200cell sports catt as said I am planning on de-restricting my airbox and putting a K&N Panel Filter I do want to put an Induction Kit in but I know Astras don't like them but on my hatchback I put a RamAir SupaRam Ind Kit at first I lost power untill I had a custom fully enclosed heat sheild with a direct cold air feed made up which I use the original cold air source for any advice will be greatly appreciated... And what kind of figures could I look to get with the right mods? Thanks Guys 😉

Europa_Blue_SE1 Thanks again for the welcome🙂 And SE2 I love it mate...Love those dials looks mint mate where did you source the dial kit and was it hard to do mate? Thanks vocky and Barry got a few ideas so far 😉
blue_se2 Cheers SE1 they are blue LEDs i bought them off ebay and they are easy to fit, the ones in the centre console are a little harder.
