2008 Astra XE
Default XR Springs

Anyone know the part number for the coil springs for the XR? i'm interested in lowering but i don't want to go the aftermarket route considering they lower 1-1 1/2 inches from the XR height and thats too much for me with the winters and road conditions here...if we had a flatter smoother surface to drive on i'd be more willing.

REWARD EXCELLENCE!

i don't have the part number but if my memory serves me correctly there is only a 1/2 inch difference between the xr and xe ride height. Check it out before buying!

The difference from the XE to the XR height is only 15mm (lil over half an inch) so I think I may just go aftermarket...thanks everyone
