I am interested in replacing the springs and shocks all round on my ex-police meega with standard items, does anybody know online shops that sell them.
Only places I can see are ebay which has both springs and shocks and also buypartsby which has KYB gas shocks but only lowering springs (which I don't want).
Also does anybody know what vauxhall charge for these items for a 1999 3.0 MV6. Although I am not bothered if they are not the "lowered" MV6 suspension units.

Cheers Karl
Trade club red book - Vauxhall dealers
front - £44.60 trade not lowered sports chassis( each )

rear ( saloon) not self levelling or sports £44.60( each )
They are trade club prices, I don't have the new yellow book yet.
All of course plus Gordon's added tax.

Remember FWD have to be rock solid to get any traction. RWD can be much softer, and still have same (actually much better!) cornering ability.

Omega also has dual rate springs for more comforatble ride, so there is an element of softness initially.

Stick with it a bit ;)

I have been with the car for a few months now, not to fussed about it now i have seen a 2000 (W) Elite 3.0 V6 for £2000 with a FSH!
