We've just got some Astra MK4 Coupe trubo front lowering springs to go on Claire's as they're supposed to be more suited for the weight

oh forgot to mention im after around 60-70mm drop aswell, how does it sit on the coupe springs

 

[Kev_mk3]

people use mk4 gsi springs on the front to get the correct poundage for the V6, so i assume lowering springs for a mk4 gsi will work for you

 

[doddie_astra]

tidy cheers for your help, what shocks do you reckon i should get? was thinking bilsteins

 

[Kev_mk3]

all personal preference but go for a well known name as you get what you pay for IMO

MK4 GSI Eibachs on my MK3 front, MK3 Eibachs on the rear.

MK3 Eibachs on the front were about 60mm drop, but I like a bit more sump clearance on the V6s.

Can you buy just front springs direct from them?
