Modernization of Opel Antara released in 2013, as a rule, begins with the improvement of the suspension. Having made a car more passable and better manageable, you need to perform an engine chip-tuning. Thus, it will be possible to achieve maximum power of the motor and correct the factory settings for other parts.

1 Alteration of car suspension - manufacture and installation of coilovers
Most Antara models released in 2013 are equipped with a basic suspension, which provides stable clearance of 176 mm. This is enough for safe movement in a country line. But many official representatives of the company Opel silent about the fact that the clearance of the car decreases almost half with the full load of the SUV. As a result, the driver no longer feels so confident how it should be driving a modern jeep.
Opel Antara A sharp decline in Clearance Antara Many experienced professionals consider regular shock absorbers. Indeed, these details of the running car are too soft, there are no turns in their designs to contain additional weight. It is because of the lack of these turns of the body of the machine sits down so low, as far as possible. Coyovers could solve the problem with adjusting clearance or, as they are also called, screw suspensions. This design allows you to slightly increase the clearance of the machine in an unloaded form. But the main advantage of Koylovover is that they do not give the body of the car "sit down" too low. By installing the screw suspension, the Opel driver gets the ability to adjust the road clearance of the car, based on the state of the road.
Prices for high-quality coilers are directly dependent on the year of the car. In the case of Antara released in 2013, the cost of parts will fluctuate in the range of 40 thousand rubles. And this is excluding installation services. Of course, such pleasure to pocket is not all. Therefore, some drivers are thinking about independent manufacture and installation of screw suspension. Make this design is not as difficult as it may seem. To work it will be necessary to prepare:
stainless steel pipe;
welding machine;
removable key;
bulgarian;
new rubber insulators for springs.
Alteration of the suspension of the vehicle for coilovers is the basis of the structure. For tuning SUV 2013, 4 identical pipes are 12.5 cm long and the wall thickness of no more than 5 mm. The inner diameter of the pipe should not be less than 48 mm, since the diameter of the ANTARA rack is 46 mm. Before installing on the pipe, you need to make a thread M58 using a step of 2.3 mm. Once you bought pipes and everything else, lift the car with the help of a jack. After that, remove the Opel wheel and clean it. We completely remove the leaving lubricant and proceed to the preparation of the spring. To do this, cut a support cup from a regular rack. It is necessary to do this extremely careful not to deform the Antara shock absorber. Then you need to make nuts that would be perfectly stood on the pipe purchased earlier. They will become peculiar feet and will not give the car to lower the clearance when driving off road.
Clearance Opel Astra, generations G, H and J. Exact figures, recommendations and ways to increase or decrease the road clearance of Astra, and the consequences of its changes.
Opel Astra, whose clearance is one of the decisive indicators, for a plurality of motorists when buying, differs depending on the year of release. What he is higher, the easier to overcome the obstacles, which is especially relevant in the realities of our roads, but the control of the machine is noticeably deteriorating. The lower - the smaller the car roll in turns, and, consequently, the handling is more sensitive, but the irregularities of the road surface becomes tangible.
All models Opel Astra clearance is provided, based on the fact that the car is used within the city. In addition, the Germans produce machines, adapted, for the most part for their roads. But drivers can change the height under their needs. In order to raise or lower the arrest, you need to purchase the appropriate parts of the suspension, namely the racks of shock absorbers with springs or special spacers, and install them. Such modernization can be done with your own hands, without any difficulty. Obviously, Opel does not produce such spare parts, so they will have to use non-original.

Clearance Opel Astra G
Opel Astra G was produced in the form of a sedan, wagon, hatchback with 3 and 5 doors, even a cabriolet. Everyone had the same chassis, and, according to all the official technical characteristics of Opel, the same road clearance is 130 mm. It is sufficient clearance for Europe, but it is not always convenient for us in winter.
Clearance Opel Astra H
According to Opel, the road lumen of the sedan, the wagon and the 5-door Hatchback Astra H 160 mm. This allows you to climb easily on most borders, and ride over long distances on the car loaded. Such a height is one of the most popular, among the manufacturers of modern cars of this class.
Clearance Opel Astra J
The ground clearance of the newest universal, sedans and 5-door hatchbacks Astra also constitutes 16 cm. Opel preferred to keep the precursor clearance, relying on positive auto owner reviews.
Clearance Opel Astra GTC
Opel Astra GTC deserves a separate mention. This Astra is considered a more sporty and dynamic car from Opel, respectively, has a reduced road lumen, for better controllability. Clearance Hatchback GTC, generations H and J is 145 mm, which is noticeably less, compared to universities and sedans of similar models. In addition, only on the basis of the GTC, Opel releases an OPC sports and forced engine.
What is the road clearance?
In a word, the higher the ground clearance is the higher the astra's passability, and the less the chance to damage the bottom of the car, and the details located on it. In addition, elevated clearance allows you to load the machine more. Low road clearance will provide the best running quality and aerodynamic properties, but less safe in conditions of bad roads, and significantly reduces comfort.
