Astra XR - Ideas for 02 sensor and rear coil springs

[AstraFasta]

Mike,

Confirm that these o2 sensors and Springs with mechanic before buying as he is the expert doing the work. This is what I would consider:

1. 02 sensors
You can find the o2 sensors at Rock Auto. You need an upstream and a downstream; I would get only "GM Genuine" or "AC Delco"

GM GENUINE 55565000 (DOWNSTREAM) $41.79
GM GENUINE 93191307 (UPSTREAM) $46.79

2. Rear coil springs
For rear springs, GM stopped selling the XR springs. You might be able to import similar springs from Europe but that is a bit difficult.

I think GM shows a similar Astra replacement as 93178630. You can type in your car VIN number to confirm fit in the website below.

Also on 93178630 is on eBay.

I don't know if a "Rear Coil Spring Set - GM (93178630)" includes 1 or 2 springs; you need to ask Tasca.

For questions on the springs, you can contact TASACA using the information here. I see an email but not a phone number.

I bought a pair of KYB rear springs last month off of eBay for $78 from a vendor in England. They were to my door within a week. The part # is RX6232. Note: they are for the XE 5 door, A04 chassis, (w/o sport suspension). This replaces GM part# 93178630 (w/o sport tuned suspension). Of course you can reference the car chassis code by looking on the build tag under the rear cargo mat on the right side. GM rear springs are usually sold in pairs although you have to make sure. I know you mentioned the rear springs for the XR sport tuned and lower suspension. but I hope this would help.

I looked it up and the GM part # for the XR (w/ sport suspension) rear springs are 93178632. It seems sometimes both part #'s 93178630 and 93178632 are lumped to together as either being interchangeable or a replacement to the other. They are not. The XR rear springs are available on eBay as aftermarket KYB's part #RX6766 for about $105. This replaces OEM GM # 93178632 and Opel # 424094.
