Eibach springs look great, how does it handle?

Seriously thinking about it mate. Just a little unsure if the standard Elite shocks on the Tourer are going to need replacing also. If they do then I'll just save up a little more and get a set of coilovers instead.

The elite shocks will be fine & TBH your be thankful you kept them.

Cheers Rusty. All I want to do with the Tourer is improve the handling but not destroy the ride comfort.

The Astra J should come lowered as standard, it sits so high otherwise.
