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

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