Worth joining Autobhanstormers (£20) if only for the trade card and then ask advice on there forum. They have some pretty "clued up" members regarding older Vauxhalls

i would say its the same, i used to have a 88 GSI with a full lowered suspension kit and when my brother bought a 95 2.5cdx the whole kit fitted...

I think its the same part, as the omega was built on the carlton floorpan they jst played around with the suspension mostly, oh and cut great chunks out of the chassis to crerate crumple zones!!! :y
