    shocks and hubs calibra 4x4

    hi all was wondering is there any place that does and different shock and hub for the calibra like the astra as in the shock and shock casing is blotted on to the hub as i would like to change them..... think it is a better set up never seen them and was wonder can it be done or can u buy them and is there a full set of fully adjustable front and rear shocks out there for the 4x4 if so what would be best for the calibra
    cheers for all and any help

    You can have the front struts converted to coilovers with adjustable dampers and get rear adjustable coilovers for under £550 from gaz (as in the company not some random guy called Gaz).

    It's the camber caused by lowering the does the damage (to the transfer box), do you want to lower it more than 40mm?

    Where are those bushes from pie?

    @richie rear camber bushes or at least some kind of rear camber mods will be essential when lowering the rear.

    Edit: Gaz coilovers
