Right i want to lower the Astra and i would like to go with the Eibach sportline kit. My dilema is i always park in the drive but the pavement goes upto a peak that meets my drive so like a traiangle.

I dont want to run the risk of grounding the sills as the distance between the front wheel and the rear wheel is long.

Is there a easy maths work out to find out if it will ground or not or is it a case of buying them fitting them and finding out that way ?

Hope that ive made sense

you would need to cross slice it and form a triangle, you problem would be getting an accurate measurement for the bottom line of the triangle

Park your car over the peak of the triangle and get out and see how much rooms left.
If there's loads your fine. I would try a few diff spots though to be safe like behind front wheels, middle of car and front of rear wheels.
