An update...

These Anschler ones are gas pressurised and ARE meant to spring back after compression.

Spoke to Carparts4less...they're e-mailing me a label to jam on to the box and they're collecting tomorrow.... replacements sent straight away. Thought that was pretty good service.

Did the person that packed them not wonder why the box was a foot too long?    :) ;D

Lol, thanks for comments guys.

I could pay £107 per shock but a.) I'm poor and b.) the GM ones are clearly shit as well.

Anyways, whilst they're in the process of sending me new ones (next week should be) am I still ok riding round? I trust the only issue is the bouncy ride... i.e. I wont be doing any damage by riding round on shot shockers for a week?

How do you figure that :-\ I would suggest you were unlucky with yours... did you find the receipt?

Yeah, you might be right. I have no receipts mate and I haven't had a chance to get to Vx. Will do though  :y

Are the OE dampers made by Sachs? If so, I've only ever had good comments about their stuff (admittedly I'm talking from a VW perspective as I haven't had a Vauxhall very long). I would have no hesistation fitting them again.

The only issue with Sachs shocks is that as they age they tend to give off a light knocking noise.

Seen this on pretty much every make and model of car they get fitted to.
