Remember that adjusting the ride height from normal effects whether the airbags go off in an accident... worth considering... check the handbook for details... i nearly got mine lowered with teins all around but being a woman she had read the handbook one night and started winging about it... :roll: :lol:

Yea thankfully the wife hardly ever goes near the scoob she says its my toy and used that as an excuse to buy herself a fiat 500,

Thankfully we have an astra as a family car couldnt bear being seen in the bloody fiat!!

I would avoid AST, although my car is proven to handle quite well, the fronts had to be rebuilt last year and they are already making noises again and the car has not actually had that much use in the last year.

That doesnt sound good,

Ive been looking at Tein and KW they seem fairly popular..

The exe-tc look very impressive but a bit on the pricey side are they really worth that much??

They certainly are .. I did think about the price .. But i saved up and worth it, But you can always keep hold of your old struts .. Then when you sell car but em back on .. Then sell exe-tc for top dollar..


What you gonna get for second had teins ?
