The Steinmetz lowering has been matched to the FlexRide System and the Watt linkage fitted to the rear axle. The Steinmetz lowering by 30 mm has been specially developed for city traffic, but is also ideal for a quick blast around the North Loop of the Nurburgring.
The Steinmetz Opel Astra body kit includes a new front spoiler, a totally black front grille and a roof spoiler. Other exterior styling accents offered by the Steinmetz Opel Astra program include designer strips and stainless steel door handle plates.
Both alloy wheels run on tires size 235/35/R19 without any adaptation to the wheelarches on the Astra J by Steinmetz.. For the interior, finished to a high standard by Opel, Steinmetz has developed a gear display which shows the driver � in his color of choice � the gear currently selected. Foot mats with a stainless steel logo, and sill trims of polished stainless steel, complete the Steinmetz product range for the Astra J.
