Thanks Glenn. In the mean time I'll definitely be looking actively also, otherwise I will have to make the 1.6 ones I've got work

Hi, i have just seen this ad. I have some some for sale but they are still in my project car that is tucked away in my garage and I'm not sure when i will get a chance to pull them out - how soon do you need them?
I'm on the Northside of Brissie. PM me if you want to discuss.
Cheers
Ben

Would love to go that way Matt but out of my price point unfortunately.

They aren't that expensive when you think about it -
Struts = $100 - $200
Decent Shocks = $400
Coilover kit = $200
Springs = $150
Adjustable Strut Top = $300
For the above it's $1,200 already. If possible it will work out a lot cheaper if you buy them already done.
Good luck.
Matt

Yeah, you are proabably right Matt. I will have to look into it that way then.
Thanks Jason, Ill keep an eye on that also. Im only 10 mins from southport anyway so might work out anyway.
Off topic thought, maybe i could just 'beef up' the 1600 ones ive got with the gusset and sliding a larger diameter tube over the 2" size of the 1600? Unless there are other things that are different apart from the tube diameter?

Don't waste your time on the 1600 ones. They will always be a compromise even if they are reinforced.
Just wait a bit and you'll find some 2ltr ones. They pop up on eBay regularly.
Cheers
Matt

Thanks to peoples advice and offers for which I made a decision.
Ive ended up buying from England with coilovers/reinforced/hubs/steering arms (full kit) on struts and new quick turn rack with new ends etc for $850 delivered....
Thanks again to people for your help
