2016 GTC limited edition questions - SMS19 - 13:th-Aug-2020

Hi all,

I have just picked up my 2016 GTC limited edition 1.6CDTI and have a few questions.

Did this model of GTC come from the factory with lower suspension if so how many mm is it dropped by compared to other models?

I have the 20" alloys and feel it sits a little too high but don't want to wreck the ride by lowering it by too much if I decide to lower it. What springs would most people recommend?

Would springs from a VXR fit as it looks to sit the perfect hight? 

Another problem I have noticed when looking online for parts most online checkers only show "GTC to 2015" in the drop-down menus and then don't have the 1.6CDTi in the list of vehicles. Do most of the 1.7CDTI parts fit or what's the trick to finding the correct parts?

Cheers

If had the SRI springs fitted its a 10mm drop over standard springs.

I do believe VXR ones fit but not 100% and I don't know if there is a difference in height over the SRI springs.
