$4-5 grand for the full F&R kit - shocks, revalving, springs, camber plates. Drop off your existing struts and pick up later all ready to bolt up.

Discounts are available if you ask the right questions and dont act like a dickhead :wink:

Entaran

Are you using the car for closed road events (Sprints & Hillclimbs) as well? if so dont set the car up to stiff or it will gitter all over the place, as roads are alot rougher than circuits.

MY front Kingspring/Koni coilovers and rear king/Koni combination with adjustable strut tops cost $1600 fitted

Hello gang

Well one part of the suspenssion that has NOT been addressed is the Strut Bars front AND rear. These will greatly stiffen the cars roll and keep all 4 wheels leveled during hard cornering.

There was a AU member making these but dont know what happened of if he's still making them or not BUT its a GREAT investment in handling.

Bellow are a few pics of the US verssion of these Strut bars made by a US Starion Board Member, And YES he IS working on the AU verssion as the engine compartments are a bit different as far as componet location.

So if ANYONE here is interested in this style Front AND rear Strut bars send him an e-mail and TELL HIM that I ( Oscar-the-Grouch ) sent you. If there's enough interest he will get off his but and make the corrections faster.
