Just had a look into this and Vauxhalls are showing plenty of both sides in stock and the prices for a pair on Trade  Club inc VAT is £117.05.

I'd doulble check what part numbers they have ordered as they should be 9192250 & 9192249 @ £48.77 each + VAT on the current trade club price

Cheers

Unfortunately it's a bit late now

But that's the route I'm going to go down, with Eibach springs (unless I stumble upon some Red Irmy ones for an Estate )

Interesting.
I posted recently about fitting Eibach's and B4's to my Elite estate and was advised against it as it would drag it's arse with any weight in it. In fairness, I did imply that I was doing the front first and as I do tow occasionally this had a bearing on the advice given. I have also just fitted new rear self levellers on so I would have had a mis-match. I'm in no hurry but will stick with standard replacements I think.

Different situations though I now tow vary rarely as the Caravan is going (we just don't use it enough to justify having it) and want the performance. The plan is that I might well fit some Spring Assister's (Airbag type) with a Schrader valve in the boot for the odd occasion I'm fully loaded. I won't be binning/selling the S/L setup until it's confirmed as all working OK, just in case.

My car has gone from my daily drive to more of a weekend thing now so I'm not so worried Having seen Chrisgixer's saloon on a similar setup with a LPG tank that concern has diminished a little TBH, I catch the towbar now on aggressive Speed humps if I'm not careful so not sure it will be an ideal setup but we'll see. The advantage of the stiffer setup is that it will dip less so it may be OK

I did not follow up with the part numbers supplied Andy, i just rang them and insisted on a refund, which they agreed to as they still ( at 15.00hrs ) could not give me a date when there in stock  the price they charged was £139.36p inc vat for both shocks

[andyc]

Well Vauxhalls have both side in stock for next day delivery and you have/had been over charged, thats if they ordered the correct number in the first place

Thank's Andy, i take it i was charged the full price ( even thou i told them it was trade club via autobahn stormers ).

Thinking of it, that price of £139.36 was pretty much the same as the rear self levellers i fitted about 18mths ago
