#38: Re: euro astra Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 1:07 pm ---- Sounds good mate . Do you mean 3-4 degrees of camber on the rear? That's quite a lot.
#39: Re: euro astra Author: anthony_839, Location: romfordPosted: Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:09 am ---- yea so the camber will be -3% hopefully if not i will get -2% as on front im running -2% allready

#46: Re: euro astra Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 1:45 pm ---- Personally I think those astras look so weird without front and rear badges, never liked them badgeless.
#49: Re: euro astra Author: anthony_839, Location: romfordPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:34 am ---- got the back down a bit lower with coilover springs as the custom ones didnt lower it any more.... will try and see if it was something i was doing but here it is atm.
#50: Re: euro astra Author: anthony_839, Location: romfordPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 6:19 am ---- pictures from the summer madness meet in high beach was a good day and very hot,
and the rear look HUGE in this photo
#51: Re: euro astra Author: Ash, Location: Running from Ant and Lee and Adam...........Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 7:17 am ---- Where is the front plate? Or do you take it off when you take pictures?
#52: Re: euro astra Author: anthony_839, Location: romfordPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 7:21 am ---- i roll with no front plate..........
nah joking i did have a bracket made but last week it got snaged on a bump and riped off so atm plate is in window..
but normaly i have a bracket that goes under bumper.
#53: Re: euro astra Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 10:25 am ---- The rear sits really nice, both height-wise and poke-wise, but the front needs to come down to match as you've got a bit of reverse rake going on by the looks of the side on pic. If you can get the front arch gap the same as the rear then you've pretty much nailed it I think. Looks nice
#54: Re: euro astra Author: anthony_839, Location: romfordPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:25 am ---- Thanks mate I do need to get the front down but that means no helper springs lol so suspension out just and the re set it all back up hoping to get it done soon but front bumper is 10cm from floor and side seals are less, and I have about 20 speed bumps to go over every time I want to get out my road lol
#55: Re: euro astra Author: marc206, Location: Bourne, LincsPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:15 pm ---- that is seriously a hot astra you have there

I know the feeling, I live on a new-ish housing estate with speed bumps, I can't avoid them. A little bit lower on the front wont hurt surely...
