now Gene, you are just being a silly willy. everyone knows that paper mache will be too expensive...
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. |
