How to - New rear shocks and upper mounting brackets for Opel Astra J

Hello everybody!
In this video, I'm changing new rear shock absorbers and upper mounting brackets to my 2012 Opel Astra J. Quite easy job. For me, the hardest part was in the end, because I couldn't get my car's rear higher. I didn't change rear springs, those weren't broken and looked pretty good... I'm sure that I have to do that in the future, those will break in some point.
