Great guide gonna do springs on my astra J tomorrow and follow your tutorial, going to do on my driveway, do you think I can leave wheels on as you did, or is job easier with them removed, thanks 👍👍

[@carsguidediy]

Hi there,
Everything depends how high you can raise back of your car. If you raise it enough you can leave wheels on.

Can you do a sway bar bushes replacement

[@carsguidediy]

Hi there, probably soon we do that job ;)

Could I replace with springs that are 10/15mm shorter to make it lower or wouldn’t it work ?

[@doesntmatter9833]

Hey,
You’ve probably done this already, but the SRi models of Vauxhall Astra J have already been lowered 15mm from the factory.
It’s done by simply replacing standard springs with lowering springs

Repent to Jesus Christ!
Are you a sinner?
Mark 2:17
King James Version
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
