I had a customers omega in the other day which had been lowered (badly) and it was awful on the road,we fitted stock springs back on and had the geometry done and it transformed the car so be careful what you fit

The recommended is a 30mm drop with irmscher springs and bilstein B4 shocks.

Troubls is that irmscher sprins are hard to find and if you go for more than a 30mm drop then your into the realms of 'special' shocks
