well its been a long while since I made any progress on the Vectra until this weekend gone.
knew vera wanted to be lower and after looking at budget coilovers I chose some jom items my friend has had them on his A4 for around 14 month now and he said he's never had any issues so bit the bullet and bought them.

really happy with how it sits now and not half as stiff I was expecting still need to get some smoked side repeaters, next on list is spacers on the rear wheels and mudflaps

Looks good now it's lowered, the way you have parked it makes the front look really high though

yeh see what you mean to be fair it was the day it was lowered the fronts settled a tad more now.
really needs spacers but not overly keen on having no locking wheel nuts on alloys

You won't lose your locking wheel nuts if you get spacers which your wheels then bolt to like mine
