The exhaust and spring chop was for PVS last year the car wasn't ready and I wanted to go on the total vaux stand, so I got some lengths of exhaust and made a quick cock up system to get it on the road, sounded awesome so it stayed like that, I told John about it when I sold him it, there were no hidden suprises, even he said he could see why I kept it on when he drove it home, does sound good. As for springs tried Astra cav corsa and nova ones couldn't get it how I wanted it so lopped a pigtail off

Yeah Brett got gaz to make custom set up for his white let, cost s bomb, they do it for less now, if u look on larkspeed you can get gaz shocks for them for s good price I was gonna do that and put it on Astra GTE 60mm springs as I allways find spax hard as fuck

Well i say coming but were at £250 at the min, may need to negotiate more before i pay him.... Is it that chris lad?

Also tempted by Gaz but your looking at £350 just for shocks... Then as said theres no decent springs available

What's it running now? Isn't it on uprated shocks? Sounds like you have decided to keep it anyway
