I was thinking about getting some of these off fleabay. I was wondering what you guys thought of them if any of you have got a set and if there would be any advantage to getting some over my standard crappy ones on at the minute.

Ive got add a leaf but thats all

Will that bar thing be a good idea?

Thanks

They are 1990 vauxhal astra shocks part number is GSA20180 a whole £13 each from a motor factors and the adapter bar for the rear can be made with a bit of angle and 10 minutes of your time.


So yeah worth every penny of £120


I don't think

Jesus, glad I asked.... I'm sick of ebay

What shocks would you recommend on a budget?
Thanks

I've got astra shocks on mine. They seem to go quite well with harder springs, but they can be floppy with soft springs I think...

Vauxhall Astra MK2 (rear?) shocks. I think they vary slightly between models, the softest being the standard hatchback ones, then saloon, then van/estate and then the sport-ier SRi and GTE ones.

Anybody know the min and max length of these?

Could be a cheapo solution to my rear shock absorber problem.
