dont think you can get 20mm springs mate best thing to do is either get corsa 1.6 sport or gsi springs or 35mm.

you shouldnt need to touch the arches! the reason they rubbed was cause there not the right offset mate.ive got 15" astra sxi alloys with 195 60 15 and 3 people in the back and no rubbing at all

you say that, but if i have three people in the back with my cavalier fan blades on and 195 45 15 tyres, and lowered 85mm i do get a bit of scrubbing, but only on the drivers side, the passenger side seems to be fine :?
