before

after

18/8 avanti phantic wheels et35 and 690kgs each

225/50/r18 tyres at 690kgs each

lowered on the bar at the front and with 60 mm t4srus springs on the back.

before lowering the back the measurement from the center of the wheel to the apex of the wheel arch was 435 mm
after lowering and driving round for a couple of hundred km's it measured 375 mm. I have a simple camper conversion in the rear of the van, estimate approx 150 kgs empty and another 150 kgs fully loaded
The front arches have been flared slightly, the rears will need to be done too to stop a little guard rub.

Yeah bin the t4rus springs calibra / cavalier / astra h / corsa / bmw springs seem to be the only way to get one 'low' standard springs or in some cases lowered versions of the springs above. along with lowered plates or none at all
As for the front notching chassis plates , shortening and re shaping the bumpstops as well as winding down the torsion bar does the trick
