what hight is the best for handling without causing to many problems and what make of springs and shocks are best for use on the road (baring in mind speed bumps,potholes and uneven roads).
the car also has 15" astra gls wheels on but will soon have low profile tyres.

i found mine handled best when i got -100mm springs on rear (car was stripped) and about 70mm at front... have had -50mm front and back and -60mm front and back but these werent as good in my opinion mate. every1 has there own preferences tho.

been there done that apex or bilstein uprated shocks and eibach is the way to go on 50mm with a rarb go for handling not looks, my B can be thrown around better than my new c that has better suspension fk coilovers so I know I,m right or maybe I,m just a good driver, or the c is shit.
