Suspension..

Daz

ok guys,think the prob is due to the weight diff in the estate and the 2.2 engine in it.PI say they only do one kit for the 4cyl vectra.so on this basis i will be getting a different susp kit..and selling the pi kit with the new springs they send me..
So wot do i get is the question..

Spax adjustables..
Koni
Bilsteins
irmscher..

Also due to my wheels being an offset of et40 theres also the arch rubbing to take into account..

Gazza

i would have Bilsteins 😃

Andy

i would say either the bilsteins or the irmscher ones.

Daz

i was thinking the spax ones as there adjustable and that prob wud be usefull with my arches rubbing..

Andy

hmm yeah never thought of that.

Daz

had spax on my mk2 cavvy years ago,had no probs with them,its £338 plus vat for the psx kit..need to get it sorted asap as i need the car for work nxt week..

Gazza

spax are ok i had them on my old vts then i changed to bilsteins and they made a big differance.

but it's down to you at the end of the day 😃

Daz

just ordered koni adjustables..spax out of stock everywhere till the 8th aug..

Gazza

koni atre better than spax in my opinion anyway daz i have had them on my old ibiza cupra sport and it was like a gokart when i fitted them rallygif 😃

Daz

thats good,its a bit lousey round corners at the mo..

Astra22SRi

Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers, its been tried and tested and proved to be a major improvement on the Astra and Vectra.

Daz

was thinking of them but need the variable damping option m8..otherwise i prob wud have gone for them..

Gazza

im sure the konis will do the job daz.if you are not into much of a rush may b a little guide 😃

Daz

still need to sort the other one yet aswell gaz,on a week off now so will see wot i can do..

Gazza

yea no rush mate,just thought it would be a good guide to have,if you dont have toime dont worry 😃

Daz

got loads of time.but keeps finding jobs round the house to do...lol..weathers meant to be shitty 2moz so will try and do then..

Gazza

ok mate like i said as long as you have the pics and a descrition i can put it all into place and change the fonts etc 😃

Daz
