Helle There,
Ive pass the mot here in belgium with my phoenix.
Unfortunately, dampers / spring needs to be changed.
Car does have a chevette front suspension.
is there anybody that could let me know if I can buy direct standard chevette suspension or do I need some modifications to fit new ones?
Many thansk and best regards from belgium

I suggest you post some pictures so people can see what you are referring to.

Hi Stephane,
A quick search shows that there are few places on Ebay here that are offering standard springs and shock absorbers such as
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Vauxhall-Chevette-Saloon-Genuine-Monroe-Gas-Matic-Front-Shock-Absorbers/362488000334?hash=item5465f7ef4e:g:TKAAAOSw5Xpb7cMi:rk:1:pf:0#shpCntId.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Chevette-1300-1-2-Front-Coil-Spring-1975-1985/312315673307?fits=Model%3AChevette&hash=item48b776fadb:g:6NsAAOSwbopZPkIP:rk:5:pf:0
You can ask if they will ship to Belgium or there may be someone on Kapaza.be or 2dehands.be who can supply for the Kadett?

Re: chevette front suspension on my phoenix
It would be really unlikely for a Phoenix to be using Chevette shocks/springs even if it was using a Chevette upright unless I've gone completely nuts (which is possible)

Re: chevette front suspension on my phoenix
I don't think you've gone nuts Jeff - well not completely anyway
I couldn't really see how there would be enough space to fit the shocks in their original orientation but the OP did ask for original equipment
As you say - a picture would help enormously

Re: chevette front suspension on my phoenix
I bought some protech for my striker a few years ago, I'm sure they'll ship abroad.

Re: chevette front suspension on my phoenix
i´m also a big fan of protech...already purchased a set of shocks for my chevette-upright phoenix (correctly named syvla clubman mk4)
and they definately ship abroad.
you just need to give them the shock length (extended), upper and lower kind of fixing.
or you contact procomp...they supply re-valved protech shocks...improveed valving for such light cars as westfield, caterham or sylva.
