My 95 Corsa 1.5td is getting a little bouncy on the back roads and washing out. Is there an easy cheap way of upgrading teh suspension? Can I fit the bigger front struts from a Vectra or other bigger brother Opel?

Bearing in mind the weight of the diesel engine in the Corsa I'm wary aftermarket kits wont be up to the job.

Any advise would be mucho appreciated.

get a decent suspension kit such as bilstein or koni. spax are a decent budget option.

theres no cheap way to do it really and these kits will easily handle the weight of a 2 litre turbo never mind a 1.5 diesel!

If you want some good prices on a fully fitted set send me a u2u

Dont want to be spending too much because there the car (1995 M reg) is very rusty and had the chassis rails welded 2 years ago. Its rusty all over but I want another couple of years out of it.
