well, I got new shocks and springs off gforce and they are now on the car. They are off a SRi, so are only 20mm lower, but I didn't want to go too low with 18s, plus they were cheap.

What do you think? Doesn't look too much different, gets rid of that stupid high look Astra's have. Car handles better now, firmer but nice :cool:

thanks guys :)
oer the last couple of days ive noticed better handling, less roll and better grip/traction around corners. less throw back when taking off and between gears too. still might get a rear sway bar somewhere down the track, but only if i upgrade the power, which i wasn't planning on doing, but you never know, just cant stop yourself sometimes :rolleyes:

Very nice indeed, that 20mm drop and 18's makes a World of difference, compared to stock.
