Well yesterday i put my order in With Greg from Gslrallysport, for the suspension upgrade. I must say im very pleased with prices, which compared to my other quotes, was bloody outstanding
On saturday i picked up my new lsd with 3.73's, which turned out to be a diff built by Mal Wood Automotive (pictures this weekend)
Over the past two weeks ive been talking to alot of, shall we say, performance specialists. And im happy to say that my plans are going ahead,
but thats a story for another day

Looks good mate, I'll be interested to see what's next. Where'd you pick up the LSD and for about how much, if you don't mind me asking? And how much difference do you think the strut brace made?

[some_guy]

Thanks bud. I bought the diff from a jc member for $750.
The strut brace really wouldn't be worth the money, so im glad i got it for free.

[F l a k]

Ahk, once it's in tell me how the diff gears go. And yeah I was thinking that but since our suspension isn't that different figured I'd ask. Bigger sway bars might be a much better option I think.

[some_guy]

Yeah, ill keep this thread updated regularly. Should be able to see some reviews after May 6th. *hint hint*
As for suspension, New shocks and springs will improve your ride dramatically, then swaybars, link pins & panhard rod would be my next choice.
Then upgrade all remaining old bushes and throw on the strut brace for w**k factor

[F l a k]

Ok, haha. Yeah I've got new shocks and springs, bushes, and link pins. Once I get the extractors on that I picked up yesterday I'll have a look at a panhard rod.
