Do love the way my 3.2 on Eibach -30mm springs and Bilstein B4's drives and handles but I had to put my 2.6 on MV6 springs and B4's because a) I want to LPG it and the tank will cause it to drag its arse on the floor and b) my job entails carrying various bits of IT rackmount kit around which also weighs a fair amount.

Looks like your looking at LPG conversion on anther thread, so you would need to address the lowering at some point, with a heavy LPG Tank in the back full of gas.  ;)

I've only ever had one Omega on standard springs,and in all honesty I didn't think the ride was that comfortable,I find the car with Irmy springs and B4's a nice compromise,car number two is the same set up as VXL V6 has, and that's good as well,car three,has a standard police spec MV6 set up and again that's probably for me the best as I don't have to slow down for speed bumps etc. ;)
