You've been told wrong.

not being rude but why not is it down to the weight

V engine is heavier. So you'll get the opposite effect.

Not being rude, but why not put your car spec in your profile? Saves me telling you to fit sport springs if you already have a sport, for instance, and saves us all asking every time...?

What spec is your car?

You've not said what spec you car is? Do you want to lower the front or the back or both?

Why are you looking to lower? Looks only, or less body roll in the corners?

Irmscher appears to be the best compromise, but they are rare as rocking horse poo now. But eibach are quite popular

15 mill drop from a 2.2 "sport" model.  Very rare used. (4pot version of mv6 Lsc suspension)

30 mill drop your looking at after market. Eibach or similar.( although they appear to list one part number for all models ;D. )

Irmscher springs were just rebranded Eibachs weren't they? They are for the Vectra C.

Strange that irmscher list differant springs per engine. Yet Eibach don't, according to recent posts. :-\

Just had a look on there where I got mine from (not Eibach though - Weitec ones) and they have different part numbers for the different models. Strange!
