what are the best to go for? Are like apex ones alright or am I best to save for a say, a set from dave a? I want to retain some ride quality whilst reducing roll a bit and I want it to sit over my wheels a bit better as I have corsa c sxi wheels on. Or do I buy a full damper-spring kit, from the likes of Avo, with their road sport kit? Thanks

yeah was looking at those but I don't think 30mm will make alot of impact will it? Dunno; dave a's are very tempting as he does -40s and they are a happy medium. Eibachs reduce roll alot then?

I had Eibach's on an Mk3 Astra and though they were brilliant. I've had a couple of sets of Apex's, but never on a car that I've had Eibachs, so couldn't offer a direct comparison.

If money isn't an issue then get Eibachs

The ones i have lower -35mm all round. I noticed a reduction in the amount of roll, but you would with any amount of lowering tbh.

looks to be eibachs then. Will it look noticably lower it then as, as much as I want an increase in function, I also want it to look nicer as well. It's not so much the rear, it's more the front clearance; it looks huge!!
