Wow car drivers soo much better. Not amazing but really good for an old car.
Best thing is how much better it sits now height wise, looks level I love it!
Pics coming soon I promise!!

Got my old front SL springs for sale now if anyones interested.


EDIT:

Thinking about some different exhaust tips, since I have to replace the mufflers cos they got smashed in :whistling:
Thoughts? Maybe 2 1/2" twins, or dumps even?

get the dumps they looked mad when i had them on the car , wish the new exhaust had them lol

How's it drive with the new shockies?

Fair bit better, not as good as I was expecting to. You don't feel the chassis twist every time you hit a bump though.
Definitely a major improvement, steering is a lot tighter but that's likely from the strut top bearings and link pins.

Heaps worth it.

Nolathane link pins
King Lows
Shocks

All brand new, shocks even came in the box lol.

Fitting, JaxQuickfit is my local now they're bloody fantastic can't recommend them enough - seems like the rest of their stores are somewhat similar as well.

- Fitted suspension
- 4 Wheel Alignment
- Fitted rear brake pads and machined rotors
- Removed all rotors & brake calipers and painted
- Re bleed brakes

$427 including the paint :)

So $927 all up for all that gear, fitted and someone else painted my brakes for me. Dropped it off in the morning, payed over the phone picked her up at night.
Couldn't be happier.
