I hear that Bielsteins are the go and that's all i know.

Yeah give the boys from Kings Springs a call for springs

and Quadrant Suspension a call in MElb RE Bilsteins that probably the best set up but remeber it gunna cost

i think from memory springs :-$400 for a set of 4
and shock :- $650-750 a set.

IT all depends on how much u want to spend and how long u want them to last

MAke sure you get tapered springs for the rear. A rally car will be bumping up and down a lot, if you get non tapered ones like Pedders, Lovells, they will pop out all the time, even on a goddamn road car, cos Geminis are so light int he rear. I know that King Springs are one manufacturer that make them, may be others.
