ASTRA 1.7 CDTI lowering SPRINGS

[habi]

Hello all,im looking to lower my astra, i just want to just cover up the arch between my alloys. Will 35mm be ok, or am i looking at 40mm.

I got in contact with apex and asked whether 35mm would be enough, they said "[Hi yes this spring kit will fit your car but we think the SXI is pre lowered. This will mean you will not get a full 35mm drop probably around 20mm

So not sure what to go for

Anyone selling some?? , would be grateful if you can show me some pics.

Habi, 50mm will only just cover the gap completely so you're better off looking at coilovers, FK do a set on ebay for about £170, 35mm won't do a lot for you buddy...

thats true, i dont want it too low as i do deliveries part time and see a lot of speed bumps, but with coil overs i can adjust the height cant i??

m8 i have some 35mm springs fitted at the mo and at the back its still way in the air so im getting coilovers i think this is the only way to getting it to sit right on a hatch in my oppin

All im concerned about it just the speed bumps, as you can imagine, doing deliveries is a pain in the neck, as i encounter the big Humps on the road.lol
I just want it to look nice J
So Coilovers i guess, at least that way i can adjust the height??
What do you think of these on Ebay.

Coilovers are always a better option mate. Il never go back to normal lowering springs again

Those are a very good price at the moment

Habi, you could adjust them if you like but there would be no need, you could set them at about 50 to 60 mm all round and still get over speed bumps no problem at all.
