Lowering springs damage CV joints?
Hi all.

Vauxhall did a health check on my GTC today and all good except both my CV joints are split. Unfortunately they said they won't be covered under warranty because it's a result of the Eibach's I've fitted.

Dealer fob-off or have they got a point?

Manager's calling me tomorrow, and i've done a quick bit of research myself and from what I understand the lowered springs cause the joint to sit at a different angle?

Any thoughts? Thanks all.

2.0 CDTI GTC rear springs
Hi, 

I have a 2.0 CDTI SRI GTC and today noticed one of my rear springs has broken, so it's time to replace them both. Does anyone know the part number for the rear springs on the GTC, and if they are the same as the 5 doors? I am right in thinking that the SRI springs are shorter than the standard ones, aren't I?

Links to buy the springs would be even better! Just after GM or OEM spec springs, nothing that would lower the car.

Thanks!

Front coil springs
Hi there

My name is Eric and I am new to the forum. I was removing the wheels from my car to clean and prepare them for winter and noticed that the front coil springs have coil spring assister rubbers between the coils, 2 on each coil spring. What are they for?
My car is a 2015 65 plate Astra 1.4t Limited Edition.

VXR lowering springs
Hi.

Looking to lower my 63 plate 2.0 CDTi 5dr.
It's currently on a set of vx 19s.

I'm not keen on going for Eibach springs as I think it's a tad too low. 

Am I right in saying the VXR springs are 25mm and should fit the 5dr 2.0d?
I have these part numbers:
F - 93189755
R - 93186751

Three brands come up for those part numbers, Lesjofors, KYB and Kilen.
Any advice on which to go for?


Thanks

Lowering springs identify front rear
COBRA lowering springs 30/30 mm for Astra Sri GTC 2012 2.0 CDTI
Which are front and which are rear?
The long springs have VA stamped on them and shorter springs have HA stamped on.

Which way up do they go? Is the writing always reading in the normal direction or it can soemtimes be upside down?
