Good to hear, So what kit exactly was it? They offer a few? I'm just going by memory here, so they could very well be doing something differently these days. I'll have to decide whether I want a mate to give me trade price on Fulcrum stuff or get the whiteline kit. Decisions.

it was called "the works". i got the low, not super low version of the kit. had KYB Shocks & strut inserts (i think they modify them tho) Whiteline springs Whiteline swaybars Whiteline Adjustable panhard rod Whiteline Radius rods I also had new strut tops fitted (non adjustable) and the control arm bushes changed while it was all fitted. From memory most of it was Nolathane but they use rubber for a couple of the rear control arm bushes, cant remember which ones, as if you use something harder there its too uncomfortable.

i have king springs and monroe gas shocks (GT i think) and they are a few years old but still pretty good, the ride height is perfect (dont know if they are lows or super lows or what) tho it is a bit firm at times... cruises nicely but when your on a 5hit house road with ruts bump and pot holes etc it is pretty damn harsh.. dosnt help that my car has a million rattles tho :I i still get a fair bit of body roll tho.... i hear putting VN sway bars on is a nice upgrade, cost bugger all from a wrecker and they are a little thicker

IMO the swaybars and radius rods are the best part of the kit. the extra castor makes a huge difference to how the car feels and steers, and stability on the highway. the swaybars obviously reduce the body roll a fair bit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
