your best of getting the correct set for your car. or u'll end up changing them again down the line. bilstiens shocks with eibach springs are a good choice but there are cheeper sets from around £200 front and rear.

If that's correct, then corsa c dampers, paired up with mk3 Astra springs could be a budget upgrade maybe? But I have no real experience with vauxhall/opel, so I have no idea, what so ever :)

Ah okay Dave, I see.

It was just be cause the Bilstein B4 BNE-C639 I found advertised for a C, had the same number as those I found for a B. So maybe the guy had put B's on his C?

Or can't I count on that number for anything?

the C dampers are differant rates and lengths to those on a B. they would fit but wouldnt be much good.

Hi guys and gals,

Am I correct in thinking that Corsa C rear dampers are the same as Corsa B?

As I'm maybe looking at buying a set of Bilstein B4 (BNE-C639) rear dampers fitted with some -40 springs for my Corsa B 1,4 16v from '99. But not sure if they would fit my B, as they are advertised as being for a C.

Cheers
