Springs are just plain black. Reason I ask is that I considered lowering it but then after looking at other lowered vxrs I wasn't so sure it would make much of a difference.

id say it has been lowered on eibach springs, which are black springs. the reason i say this is the performance fords e.g. ST220 etc are lowered as standard by around 15-20mm . i guess vauxhall would lower their top model aswell. only a Theory though

Going by that picture I'd say it looks lower than standard but only by 15mm.
