you'd probably do better buying new e.g bilstein B4/B6 struts and eibach springs depending what you want or just mv6 bits

I'll probably end up breaking the facelift Mv6 auto I've just purchased if you fancy going down that route...
How much does a standard set of Mv6 suspension go for?

2nd hand, I'd suggest not much TBH. If it was Irmscher springs etc, that would be different.

Well, these mv6 springs have been on the bay for a while at £100:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Omega-Saloon-MV6-police-factory-sport-springs-/290693750029?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43aeb29d0d

Eibach springs would be in the £200-£300 new.

Personally I would hesitate in using old used springs in case you went through all that effort fitting them only for one to crack next winter!

Yep, GmasterT on here.  Could have probably saved a few quid on ebay fees, etc.  ::)

Sorry mate! I did spot this but didn't think of these as all I thought about is the eibachs on my drifter! As you're picking them up I'm sure we can sort something  :y
