If you are getting a GSi, make sure you get the 2.0 16v red top engine (C20XE) one (J/K/L reg) and not the newer ECOTEC one which can be found on P/R reg Astra GSi's.

I've seen a couple of L reg ones with them in. Whether they are the original engines or not, I don't know...

I think they look good especially lowered on 17 or 18" wheels. Like drew says though sh*t handling. A new lowering kit should sort that out.
