Astra J Sports Tourer SRI 2.0 CDTI

Got some shiny new shoes for my car.

Irmscher Evostar 20" 8.5J ET40 235/35. They came with 245/40 which looked good, but they were rubbing and to be fair falling apart. Just need to get the wheels aligned now. 

I haven't done many other mods. I've changed the DRL to LED and changed some of the internal bulbs to a cyan colour, which look great with the red colour of the car. 

I'm thinking about fitting some Eibach springs to lower another 20mm, but to be honest it doesn't look too bad on the SRI springs.

IMHO anything lower than 10mm SRI is too much they catch humps at that going lower just makes it worse.

Wheels look nice.

Thanks Rusty.

I know what you mean. There's some beefy speed bumps near me and I'm already struggling to get over them. I think if I lowered the car I'd have to remove the black trim under the front bumper. That appears to be the part that likes to munch on stuff.

Thanks! I think they suit the car quite well.
