That’s $1,500 you can use to shout the beers at our Dee Why meet.

Oh you did end up getting those black/white badges. What a big difference they make.....from something so little. Im getting pictures of what your car is going to look like and I'm getting way jealous.

i think the thing that made the biggest difference so far is the wheels

but i also can't believe the difference that badges made, i'm really happy with it

I know an honest group of mechanics at the Prime service station in West Ryde. They are all brothers/cousins. The daughter is a good friend of ours. I trust them.

Astra ... why don't you take it to someone like Pedders. They have all the right grear to do the job right. You will need to get it alligned once they install all the gear anyway. You have saved on the parts and all but if the install or set up is botched, you'll regret it. Take it to a suspension specialist. Your car is worth it !!!

Astra,
don't muck around with your expensive suspension. Take it to the people who know more about Bilstein setups than possibly anyone else in Sydney. They are an authorised distributor/dealer.

A quote from them, at the least, won't hurt !!!
