Was gonna just change the springs, but now Im under the impression that just changing just the springs on a big car is just asking for trouble with the dampers.

as for the exhaust. Was looking to take it to peco or cybox and get a custom full system with sport cat. Dual exit like Jonah or centre exit.

Who knows till i get it and take it for some quotes...

is a DOHC engine a ford?

Its all engines bud, stands for double over head cam, well all engines that have it that is.

And yer, you'll need the full set up on a big car, speak to some of your mates on the vauxhall sites about the Gsi people carrier they do, im sure some peeps must of played round with the suspension on their mpv's.

Lad my bro works with had to get coilovers due to the 19's he had fitted and the 310bhp out of the Zafira GSi engine.

peace of mind with coilovers is if you don't like the settings it can be changed quite easy. plus they might last longer.

Id just change the springs matey rather than spend a fortune on suspension. Its never going to handle due the to type of car, and Im sure that as its so tall, your not going to be driving it that enthusiastically, so anything more that lowering springs for appearance will just be a waste.

...and sorry to get back to the Plate thing, but check this thread.
