As I've seen some members on this forum have lowered their Astras, i would like to ask about other available options. Are there any manufacturers offering 20-30mm lowering instead of 40mm? And how is H&R option with 40mm lowering? Is it derivable on everyday roads?

My car is a daily driver on 40mm H&R springs. Ride quality is still very good, handling is greatly improved.

Any problems with speed bumps and the like?

30mm would be the safer option if you're concerned about speed bumps.

I think that S/S versions are 10mm lower than standard.

I've just lowered my car with Eibach Pro springs (30mm drop) on standard shocks, only driven the car twice but so far impressions are positive, have not had to alter my driving style for the likes of driveways, speed humps etc.

I am thinking about lowering my astra and have looked at 30mm drop and 40mm I'm just concerned about ground clearance.
