yeah they are ok mate they arnt too good if ur lowering the car for better cornering though as they make the car look nice and low but the springs are still quite soft i had a set on the astra and i changed them in the end for a set of spax.

do you reckon the mega-gas kits from www.tuning.co.uk will be the same or better. i\'m looking for better handling rather than looks.

For better handling and ride comfort, go for Eibach springs. Jamex/GMax/Apex/etc are all budget springs and not really designed to do much more than drop the car.

Best place isn\'t always the cheapest. Give Eibach a call and see who they\'d recommend 01455 285852.

Most parts suppliers in the UK are able to get hold of Eibach.

Well the springs are what you want but have you ordered from MSport before? Are they local to you?

Pi are about as budget as they come.

are all the budget kits softer then?

Not at all, some budget kits can be very stiff and give a terribly harsh ride!

Eibach make the springs for Irmscher, which are available as an upgrade option from your Vauxhall dealership. That\'s why they\'re good
