Bought some apex lowering springs very cheap last week. Was a simple enough job doing the fronts just tricky to get the rear springs out. Pretty happy with the results. The rear would probably sit down more but i have no fuel in it weighing it down. :)
Ive done a fair bit over the last 14 months of ownership in terms of maintanence and looks.
This time last year:

That car looks very well indeed. 8) :y
-
. and yes! It does look good. :y :y A very subtle difference. :y

I've ordered a grille from ebay, seems the next best thing since real irmscher grilles are as rare as rocking horse sh*t :)
-
Nice. Quite fancy one of those grills myself. Gonna have a mooch on eBay.
Shhh dont tell the missus! ;)
-
At this rate it's going to be a rarity to see an Omega with a standard grill on it! ::) Not that I can talk, as mine has an Irmscher grill nailed to it!! ;D
-
Looks much better lowered Dan, very cool :y
-
Cheers jon. It lowers the front by 40mm and the rear by 30mm. :y
-
. and yes! It does look good. :y :y A very subtle difference. :y

Had a new battery fitted this morning!
As far as the abs ecu is concerned, the part numbers etc on the existing unit are: 09 127 952. Also DX 0265230427 if that's any help.

That looks smashing :y

Nice looking car mate :y

Day off today so took some updated pics seeing as car was clean. Done about 1500 miles on the new springs and think they have settled slightly. Tyre wear all even. Have also removed the GLS badges and no one wants to these those ;D

That great mike :y

Looking good, like the colour.
What diameter are those tailpipes (are they trims?)
-
no its a powerflow exhaust. I think there 2.5" each. :y
-
Is it a custom or off the shelf exhaust? What's the sound like and may I ask how much it cost? I will be going for similar tailpipes but can't decide whether to go for 2.25" or 2.5". I will hopefully be hopefully changing mine in April
Got any better pics of the exhaust?

its a custom made one.
Its a quiet burble more than anything. I wanted the look more than the sound but i have a short video here:
Cost £130.00

There not mate. Dont get me wrong its firm but from past experience of lowering its doesnt have a bouncy ride.
-
Nice car :y :y
The Apex give a smoth ride even to the Estate, wich I had them fitted to...but, this is what happend to my left rear spring after only two years :(
Hope your's will last longer. Several people here in Norway who had the same problem on the Omega with Apex, but there's allways warranty :y

looking good bud :y
certain is - you have done a great job there m8! :y :y
our mv6 is also lowered and gives a surpirsing decent ride :)
my v6 cdx is also lowered-30 and it is a great ride (did uprated shox too - it just feels like a 'modern' car now although I am still on 16's :-[)

Sad thing is at the moment i may need to sell it as im strugguling is fuel costs doing 1000 miles a month in it :'(. Just really trying not to and driving economically.
-

-

I've made the mistakes of selling my other miggys only to end up buying another one ;D
Need to keep yours mate, and I need to keep mine and bring her up to scratch :y
-
Yep, that's looking just right at the moment Dan, be a pity to sell it :-\
Still needs fogs to add that finishing touch though :)

That sounds lovely :y

Looks lovely. Spot on.
I intend lowering mine at some point. Have a pair of Cherry bombs I had on my Hot Rod waiting to replace the front box's as well.
-
Hi, New to Omega's and looking to get one asap!
Can I ask what are those alloys called as they look really nice and would hope to get a set if at all possible once I get my own Omega!
Lovely colour on the car too. Nice work.
-
There mv6 alloy wheels with 235/45/17 tyres ;)
-
Thanks :)
-
That is one very nice car and looks like the evil twin of mine... Except no spots! ;)
I hope you can keep her, even if you have to get a cheap run about and keep the Omega for the weekends!!!
