eBay is your friend

As a matter of course, my brother has an Astra VXR about 1 year old and the mirror game off it, looked like it had nothing more than sticky back tape holding it on

I regularly try to convert him to Dub mines 14 years old and just has general wear and tear 174k miles

I'm not interested in modifying it lower than standard spec, just wan't something that I can use to replace my standard buggered suspension

Thanks, can try that. I'd rather try ECP or GSF as I have a thing about scrap yard salvages, certain things I just won't buy unless I know they're relatively new.

What you think?

I've never really considered coilovers or uprated dampers but when they're cheaper than standard suspension it's not hard to argue about

I'm not particularly bothered about aftermarket upgrades, however if I can get some coilovers for £200 that are similar to factory I'll more than happily fit them. Saves me some money and adjustable damping strength is always good since the VW paint codes are confusing

Hi All, My dampers are well on there way out at the rear and suspect springs most likely aswell I was going to replace them with genuine VW ones, or discounted ones from eurocar / gsf Are there any alternatives I could use that offer the factory level of fit at a discounted price, not keen on paying...

It's ridiculously easy to do, bit of a pain because of the airbox on drivers side, but still only takes around 1 min to remove each side with the tools if you have them at hand.

Here's the boost log

The actual log file has around 1500 lines of data as I did a 15 min drive around my area (dual carriageway)





includes the footage but I can supply the CSV file if it's needed as I can't attach it here

I did one of my fronts, I had to soak them in a sachet of liquid for 24 hours after buying them from VW, so allow for that. It was very hard to get the piston back in with the seal on but I managed. If I did it again, I'd use the wind in tool you need for the rears, but I didn't have it back then. ...

Looks worse than it is, but me thinks I've been ignoring the errors a bit too long :???: Here's the entire log... lemme know your thoughts on fixing.

The main piston seal appears to have gone inside my caliper and I'm considering repairing it. Is it easy / hard - I've watched videos and I'm comfortable doing myself, but I've heard horrors about them failing later on and given that it's something you rely upon with your life I don't want to mess i...
