I've just read this thread, think I've got a new pair of rear air assisted shocks for a Cav, got them with a load of Manta parts a few years ago. Perhaps too late as you'd mentioned ordering std ones.

I'm restoring a Vauxhall Firenza and I sourced a perfect rear seat which the trimmer used to repair my front seats. I never checked the cavalier to see if there was enough material in the rears. A good trimmer could also repair a drivers seat from a good passenger seat.

You know what....we all pay through the nose to keep them in b...
