nova c20let suspension help

[Rob H]

Hi I'm new to the vauxhall scene but have always loved nova c20lets so I recently got myself one. Im really enjoying the car the engine seems to be pretty sweet and pulls very well. However it feels like the*ball*joints*track rods etc have all seen better days. Is there a easy way to tell which*ball joints, track rods wish bones etc I have? As id like to replace everything and freshen it all up a bit. Oh and also which driveshafts I have as a cv boot has split.

Cheers

Its 95% all standard stuff (track rods etc). If you post a picture of the shafts, and tre's etc, i can tell you whats what.

For track rod ends, ball joints etc make sure you get OE quality stuff and not un branded stuff from euro car parts

Cheers mate absolute legend! Yeah has the f28 so just to clarify apart from the driveshafts I just want to buy standard gsi parts?

@mieran, don't worry mate OEM all the way, buy cheap ya buy twice . I will be making this a absolute minter gonna start sanding all the body work down this weekend then hoping ill have the time to spray it next weekend. Has had all the rust repaired already so paint is abit all over the place.

Another quick question, what is the minimum size wheels you can get over the Astra turbo brakes? Believe they are 308's. I really want to run 15s on it as not to keen on the 17s currently on it. My clip cup is a very tight fit with 280s under 15s so I'm assuming ill need a different brake setup, can anyone recommend me one to allow 49ers to fit

Cheers and sorry for barrage of questions .
