Interesting.. I'm very tempted to upgrade my Westfield from 15" wheels to 13" wheels to improve the handling.

Will there be any room left for the brakes, or are you just not bothering with those? They are unsprung weight, after all..

Kevin Wood? Brakes? On a Westfield? Why?

Our Mr Wood prefers to use grass banks, and central reservations to slow down

Ooooh he won't thank you for that one..

Mv6 stuff seems to handle nice, very controlled. Pi's are softer with similar roll but lower, not as steady. Weistecs are good, similar stiffness to mv6 buy I was running wagon versions on a saloon, eibachs on now which are ok, similar to the weistecs to be honest. All the lowering springs are around 35mm from standard, if there was a shorter mv6 spring I'd run that though I think although the eibachs aren't far off, next step will be cool overs anyway

It is not just the spring that affects the ride height - your choice of shock absorber will play a part too. For example, running the Eibach spring with Bilstein B4 will ride a little heigher than with the B8 as the B8 is a shortened body for lowering springs whereas the B4 is designed for a standard height (although will work with up to -30mm) and will be trying to hold up at a standard height. Sililarly, if you are going to put lowering springs on with your 100k oem shocks then the end result is anybodys guess but the ride will be a bit squiffy and you will have missed a good opportunity to do a good job.

Good luck whatever!

Lol, it drifted around the longest track corner in Europe at the top of 4th gear ok

Also have polys at the front and I know they are not the shocks it left the factory on from the police repair and service report. At the same time, I was never going to go mad with it as it clearly does the job I want it to do...

Awesome pic btw george!! shame no body has a camera when im hooning mine around!! 
Defo got to come down soon mate & as yet no body has fully confurmed what omega uses a 3.45 diff....

"Kennny" rem if you run the 19" snowflakes off an astra vectra or zafira you will need a 5-10mm spacer & longer bolts due to the offset the front wheel drive cars run, the tyre will poss rub the front struts & your tyres will last under 10miles! Not good,

Hey mate, you should really start your own thread, not keep posting the same stuff on other peoples threads.  You'll only piss them off    It's called thread hijacking!!
