I want my omega to have a lower ride height than normal so in order to do that, should I just get the shocks removed or like get smaller ones fitted or is there any other way like to put a clip on the spring while they are pressed ??

And would this make any problems of any sort ??

I would have thought your option would be shorter springs / aftermarket kit / different oe spec setup - starting to understand there are a few different versions for the omega of which some have the car sitting lower

I have Eibach's on mine with Bilstein shocks, others on here says improves the ride and handling and they are not wrong. Dropped a CD spec by 30mm infact more like 20mm because the stand springs seem to sag anyway over time even on a low mileage car. ALso upgraded to 17in alloys with 235 profile tyres, car is a completely different beast. I think if you drop 40mm you will need to use shortened shocks but others on here far more knowledgable than myself.

I have just fitted Steinmetz (made by eibach) -30mm springs and Bilstein B8 shoicks and it is fantastic.

The B8 shortened stroke shocker allows the spring to drop the ride height by the full 30mm (as I sadly measured before and after!) bot only at the front - my rears may have been already shot as there was NO difference in the rear ride height but it looks sweet.

Just waiting to clean her up and get some pics but even on 16 inch CDX wheels it looks very subtle!

I would say though that to do this combo properly you woll be looking at a four figure sum as to get the full benefit of the B8's you will want to freshen up the wishbone bushes, replace the ARB bushes front and back and replace the top bushes front and back and then add in some labour if you are not patient enought or skilled enough to do it yourself!

you wont regret it though!!

Watch out for my galery thread coming soon!
