so i went to the only place in town that knew what a starion was.. and asked about suspension options, a week later i get the call i knew was coming.. " nothing available".

so what are the real options for staz suspension??

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.

KYB GR2 shipped from states, prices aren't bad.
Thats about it for direct replacment shocks

Springs from kings and dobinsons.

Swaybars 21mm rear HD and 24mm front HD from selbey's who have taken over from whiteline.

Strut top camber adjusters from USA 101propose

Strut braces no longer avaliable.

what i want to achieve:- a staz that doesn't handle like a boat and to not have suspension with louder "whoosh" than my bov.. LOL

spose i should just ask what you recommend for a man on a limited budget and still has mpi gear sitting there waiting to go on.. lol

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
