[Hobbit]

[Hobbit]

That looks good.

[Spudly]

can pop out and get a better angle of it if needed


I reckon you need to bud, needs to be the same angle as the picture of the Simps vec for as good a quality shop as possible:thumb:




+Rep mr tek thankyou!

[The Simps]

I bought a set of these for mine. Good value for money really - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Vectra-B-SRi-GSi-Coilover-lowering-kit-741020_W0QQitemZ360220288557QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item53decd662d


I'll have to get you a better pic mate, looks soooo much better in the flesh!

[Hobbit]

Gotta pop to the butchers anyway...

No thats not a euphemism Lee

[blue_peg_16v]

nice price any good simps, i was just going to go for some decent springs and dampers such as koni as i will be doing a fair bit of milage so dont want to damage the ride that much

[Southie]

Here you go lol TEK knoboff :p

[Nova_Tek]

+Rep mr tek thankyou!

No problemo Mr. Spudly. Thanks :thumb:


Here you go lol TEK knoboff :p

Now now Southie don't be mean :p

[The Simps]

I'd bought a set of eibach front springs and some unknowns for the rear originally but on oe dampers it was never gonna be brilliant. The coilies are fixed rate and are definately firmer than the standard stuff and imo not too harsh although all my softy mates moan but there used to company cars! Having the helper springs on the front help.

[The Simps]

DO IT!!!!

I advise on 205/40 tyres.

[blue_peg_16v]

so wish i got an estate

[Spudly]

Cheers for those Dave although im not gonna rep you due to persistent use of 'that' picture lol


Not sure which i prefer tbh, my dad said the GSi rims look far better though!

Vec C VXR 19's Rich you know you want to do it and im sure the vectras arches would swallow them whole:thumb:

[blue_peg_16v]

they will but the corsa and astras are an alternetive and 19in too

the vec ones are cool though, just they are starting to get like speedlines on novas lol

[The Simps]

gsi rims look good but turbo rims also look good and aren't that common.

[Southie]

while you're at it... :)

Not sure they work on an Omega.
http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p379/SOUTHIE01/shoppery/hobmister.jpg

[The Simps]

Too small for an omega and wrong offset too.

[Southie]

mr southie can you do me a couple to this & can you put these 2 on it please am thinking snowflakes but these are my other 2 options and not seen them much on a b so not sure what they would look like

[Spudly]

^^^First one works really well, do it Rich, well done Dave:thumb:

[blue_peg_16v]

cheers southie

tried to rep but have to spread my seed

[The Simps]

I've seen the 19" VXR rims on a vectra before and although they look cool it also puts the car quite high off the ground! 18s max imo.

[blue_peg_16v]

its only 12.5 mm extra on ride hight going 18-19 so if i lower it 30 mm it will still be 15mm lower on 19s than on the 17s as although there is a 25 mm increase in radius so ride hight there is a 10 mm drop in tyre wall to 45-35 so i think the 19s will be fine

[draper]

they will but the corsa and astras are an alternetive and 19in too

the vec ones are cool though, just they are starting to get like speedlines on novas lol
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/8956/renosplitter3kr4.jpg

that veccy is the bollox !!

[blue_peg_16v]

just put the exact tyre sizes into a calculator on the net and rr is 12mm higher on 19s than 17s so will still be 18mm lower than standard bonus


draper think it will be snowflakes for mine not sure on the other 2

dynamic 12mm diff static is what i got origionaly 15mm

[Hobbit]

yeah they look gash on the mega, and too small, could you try these please :)

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/snowflakes.jpg

heres a better pic...

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/001-2.jpg

[blue_peg_16v]

what about mv6 wheels mr hobbit

[Southie]

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p379/SOUTHIE01/shoppery/HOBBiTFLAKES.jpg

[Hobbit]

what about mv6 wheels mr hobbit

Did a bit of digging on the omega owners club :gay: and apparently they are very weak, bend out of shape very easily. And the way i drive that would be a problem lol

Cheers Southie, would rep you but i already repped your mum. not sure on them though...

[Southie]

My mum say's thanks lol

[blue_peg_16v]

look ok imo what about astra coupe turbo rims

[Hobbit]

these one?

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/Astra_Coupe_11.jpg

again, not sure, and i think i need 18's at least

[Spudly]

The astra GSi wheels look far too new and updated for your mega mr hobbit!

[Southie]

How about these 18's (New Insignia) :d

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p379/SOUTHIE01/shoppery/HOBBiTFLAKESInsigniaalloys.jpg

[Hobbit]

ooo, i like them :)

[craig green]

Fwd rims on a Rwd Omega are a styling fook up of the highest order tbh. The std rims would give a better stance. Its all about offset.

Spud, theres a silver Veccy estate local to me with turbo fan blades. I always thought it really worked. Do it.

[Hobbit]

what does styling have to do with what wheels are powered :confused:

[blue_peg_16v]

they do 18in snowflakes like the astra gsi ones on the vectra but they are fecking expensive like the 19s there popluar at the mo, insigna ones look good

[ant_tay]

what about the 18's that are on the new astra SRi's

[blue_peg_16v]

bit rare to find second hand at the mo though

[Hobbit]

as are the insignia ones by the look of it.

[blue_peg_16v]

what stud patern and offset are jag rims they do some in a very similar style
