grand vitara front shocks?

[dainott]

Sorry for all the questions folks but going to get grand vitara springs for my 96 vit and read on here that i can use mk2 astra rear shocks but what struts should i be using on the front (grand vitara ones possibly)? Cheers

sorry talking rubbish above, actually reading up again it looks like rover 600 rear shocks and suppose i can just use strut spacers on the standard front struts. Anyone confirm this one?

Also anyone know how thick the solid aluminium tube is that's used for the body lifts. Im guessing about 2 inch but wondered if anyone knew off hand. Cheers

want
