[General Baxter]

really lol

edit, not really cheap lol

£60 each, £40 for a good shock

£100 a corner

£400


can get some proper ones for that lol

i don't think its very safe welding the outside of a front damper with oil/gas inside..............

mk1-3 astras have removeable damper inserts, so its do-able.

[George g]

Lots of retro Fords have these as coilovers are hard to come by for them. Cortina's and the like...

im sure ive seen billy inserts for about £40. so you get a pair of billy coilovers for £200. proper funking bargain imo

[Ste L]

do the same on 106's too..

but they do have a removable insert

it hard to rebuild rear shocks? wouldnt mind doing my rears like this, have some spax ones spare if the seals are replaceable it could be easily done.
