    just fitting a full suspension kit to my wagon and was wondering if anyone has fitted a nolathane front strut adjustment kit to improve front end grip

    I did fit the adjustable nolathane front strut kit to the V8. Haven't noticed a significant improvement in road handling grip by this installation alone. Front end geometry is easier to dial in. That's the bonus I found over the factory setup. Definitely worth the expense IMO.
    I get my improved front end grip using sticky "hill climb" tyres and playing with the air pressure in them for my VP V6 track car.

    I'd say not really "for a daily driver" in my experience.
    Keep in mind our streets and roads here in SA are shocking on average. We have manhole covers right where the drivers side wheel runs on the lanes and the road surfaces can be undulated due to wear and tear (B-doubles use our main roads to travel between VIC and WA).
    There's no "wrong" or "right" here and depends on your driving style. If you believe that it will be worthwhile for your car then by all means do it.
    Best of luck.
