As a bove ive been to all or phoned all of my local vauxhall garages and none have any ramps or anything i will fit on

Anybody else had this problem and what did you do about it

It shouldnt be a problem as by the next time i should hopefully have coilovers and so will easily be able to higher the car up but i ned a solution now as i want to keep the Vauxhall stamps going

tell em they are lying, if we can get a racing beelte on our mot bay, vauxhall can get yours on their ramps, they will have to do the service on a four post lift instead of on a two poster....lazy fcuks!!

borrow some spring spacers (what they put on the springs when new cars are deliverd) or borrow some standard shocks and springs, failing that we have a posh lift that sits flush with the floor..

Thought about standard shocks and that but then i gotta pay to get srpings and shocks fitted then pay Vauxhall for a service and MOT then get old springs and shocks put back on, it is an option but i long haul and expensive one, would springs spacers work???
