Hi all had a couple hours spare today so set about making a start on the front suspension. Billstein b12 kit and everything else new, genuine Peugeot. Was going great but my phase 2 gti6 has 16mm hubs and I got 18mm ball joints! Not a problem I thought because I have a phase 3 xsi and was sure they would be 18mm. Nope they was 16mm also (or at least the driver side was so that stopped play for today. Got some on the bay so will get it done next weekend now lol. PITA !!!

Yes mate it was not too bad just got a lil pissy with it because I needed the spring top plate that goes under the top mount. Tbh it wasn't my greatest idea but I still got 9 fingers left....... O bugger where did number 10 go

I have had a f*ck on with mine, due to bolts been a bastard and the wrong springs been given to me, so the car had a 2 inch lift from standard! I had to go to Peugeot in the end, for the correct springs, as I am not f*cking about anymore with pattern copy stuff.

I'm with you on that bud Iv fitted cheaper parts before but in the end they aren't as good so best to buy genuine me thinks
