what do u want to achieve with it and what is your budget? i can convert rear strut bodies to insert type and put koni's or whatever u want in there. fronts are easy to put inserts in. but if they go looking for starion part numbers they aint gonna find em..

Dave how much do you charge for that? I know of a company that does it for starions down here, so it would be good to compare prices.

i just fitted a gk-gn sigma front sway bar to my jb starion.
the starion sway bar is 22mm and the sigma is 26mm and bolts straight in.
it mounts through the radius rod brackets instead of the onto the chassis.
go mr2 ext adjustable koni all round and coilovers it'll handle like a go kart
