I bought Eibach -30mm springs for my Insignia, because I loved them in my 2012 plate Astra (also ST, 2.0cdti, 160hp).
Maybe it's because the Insignia is close to aircraft carrier in size and weight (not that Astra was anywhere near a lightweight), especially the rear end feels much softer with original springs and shocks than in Astra.
Does the lowering springs make it less "bouncy" (for example, when going over speedbumps)?
From factory, these Insignias came with same shocks, no matter if you have Normal or Sport-chassis option.
And if you have replaced your shocks, what is your recommendation or what is just pure waste of money? I have always trusted Sachs-brand and it gives also same shocks to normal or lowered chassis.
And FYI, my current shocks are just fine. Those are checked on yearly mot-inspection and it was about 5 months ago.
