Err I'm afraid cheap parts is....err cheap parts, only they're not. They always end up costing you.
Much better to buy OE whenever you can It's always cheaper
While we've opened this thread again, reading through, I missed a bit out.
When I first bolted the strut to the slam panel, the rock went but the vibes were terrible.
I got some 8 mm rubber sheet and cut a piece to fit under the bracket...sorted.

You're not wrong mate.
GSF are ok for shit like clutches since they sell OE Valeo stuff anyway, but alot of suff I wouldn't touch from them.
ECP do seem to sell better stuff though, and they sell it bloody cheap sometimes, depending on whose on the desk when I wander in!
They're shit good for sphere's, they sell genuine sphere's for less than GSF sell Amtex! Go figure.

Didn't know they did gen spheres!!!! I have about 30 used ones, which I'm gonna send to pliedediedpedies. They'll set up an account and credit my account with £10 for all the good ones. Hopefully I'll have enough for two new sets for the BXs for 'nowt' so to speak!

ECP also do REAL 16V spheres, unlike GSF who sell any old shit and say it's for a 16V...tossers.
