even if its only a 1.5 inch drop?!? I would understand if it was slammed down 4 inches, but would 1.5 really affect the tires and car that much?

Not as much as 4 inches, but still would. I heard that anything over 1.2" basically would require the chamber kit.

I wish i could lower my car more

I think 2inches overall would be good... especialy since ive done a little bit of weight reduction

That's my car! Yes, it's an anti-sway bar. It's available on the Astra mk3 GSi (Opel Kadett GSi).
Eibach also make a replacement anti-sway bar that will replace the standard straight one inside the beam.
Whiteline also make an add on rear anti-sway bar.
I'll see if I can take some pics at the weekend.

That exhaust went in the trash aaaages ago, along with the engine, trans and the interior :twisted:

mmamdouh: The discs are straight of a Astra GSi/Kadett GSi or any 2.0L Opel Vectra. Straight(ish) swap onto a Nexia, Lanos etc.

Ok, but will that anti-sway fit on a Lanos. If so can you get us any contacts so that those of us in the states could purchase one. Also, what effects did it have?
