Im thinking of lowering my Omega at the rear using coilovers. Has anyone used coilovers?

Was the best drop to put on them?

What about using a torsion bar on the front for lowering the springs on the car. Are these expensive?

Sorry for all the questions but ive no experience on lowering cars. Just fancy dropping the Omega slightly, maybe 80mm on the rear?

I dont know why they dont lower cars from factory standard. I consider it a safety feature as its gives better road handling.

this will cause a headgasket problem as you are putting too much pressure on the rear axle drive

Where on the rear of the car is the headgasket located? Is it something to do with some seals somewhere? Maybe in the coilover struts or something? Im a bit concerned about this seal going maybe if i use coilovers? Please let me know what your thoughts are on the coilovers?

Did you read my other thread? About the trackdays I do sometimes in my Omega? Well im going this weekend in my V6 and thought about lowering the car for better handling in the twisties as I struggle to keep up with the hot hatches. Its really embarrassing tbh. Trying to race 1992 clit 16v's, williams clits, 205 gti's, astra gte's, i just get whipped in the twisties. Im not too bad against them on the straights though.

Again carve your own out of cheese, a nice springy lancashire, or maybe that foreign one with the holes in it would suit the job perfectly.

I would recomend coilunders, resonably priced see www.acmecoilunders.com
