Title: suspension
Post by: bappy on 30 September 2008, 13:17:29

Hi Guys,

Looking to upgrade my suspension.

I want a 40mm drop on front and back and stiffer shocks.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/StylingTec-Suspension-Kit-Vauxhall-Omega-B-40-00-50-40_W0QQitemZ120288495615QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item120288495615&_trkparms=72%3A1299%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

this look any good?

or does anyone have any knocking about they want to flog?

I'm running an MV6 manual saloon

Now you come to mention it, i have an FK coilover kit and/ or a set of Pi springs on standard shocks that i'm sure we could do a deal on  :)

Oh and the reason i have these is because i got the Pi ones, was going to fit, then the coil over kit came up and got that instead, but hour later a brand new set of Irmscher springs came up at a stupidly cheap price, so i got those, and fitted them as that what i wanted in the first place  ;D

Camber shouldn't be a problem as I have an open ticket with WIM to redo my camber.

reason I say 40mm is because my insurer wont allow 50mm.

FK are a German aftermarket bits company.

Drop is 40 to 60mm, obviously its adjustable because its a coil over kit  :)

Obviously being 2nd hand i would be looking for considerably less than the 850 Euros plus delivery they want!!!  ;D
