Yes the top mounting bushes, spacer, washers & nut were all supplied.

Same here with MaxTrac ones, I'll be posting up pictures (when the missing one turns up!)

Are they as crap as the Bilstein kit?

Don't know, never had Bilsteins, I'll find out when I fit them, I guess the existing Vx fittings would be usable they've only been on the car four years.

Where's the slap head smiley when you need one the GM fittings are substantial in their structure, hence the cost. Pattern ones are generally shit in comparison...

Gm estate and saloon, respectively...


And the crap Bilstein supply...


The other issue is that the top mounting rod is often shorter than on the Gm ones, hence needing the estate kit to fit B4s to the sale saloons...

Meyle looks similar to GM, I'd post picture if I knew how,

I just opened up box again to double check MaxTrac kit, it's very similar to GM too, it's not like B4 kit. Pictures to follow at weekend assuming it's dry!

Changed mine at the weekend,no real problems other than the bottom bolt on the nearside didn't want to come out
Air wrench wouldn't move it, resorted to socket bar & lump hammer.
Had already bought new GM bolts in case I destroyed them, £15.00 for two bolts, extortionate.

Glad I copper slipped mine 8 years ago, no problems removing old bolts

I'm looking forward to fitting my Bilsteins. Would have been better if the factory had remembered to post them... Apparently sent today once AGP gave them a telephonic kick... If they don't arrive by Thursday my weekend is scuppered.
