Bugger, with the high aussie$ it would work out around the $1000 instead of $1700..........
Forgot to take of the 20%VAT.
I am forced to go the suplex way as the gap becomes $1000 cheaper than the Australian bit of kit. I might grow to regret this choice but $1000 is 4 new tyres.
Okay they will be Kuhmo ECSTA V70A a sticky track day tyre
My plan for the weekend isn't going so well, daren't take the hard top off and get half way through fitting the new fabric to only have to fold it up half fitted.
True I think a new set is around £220.
The main point is that I would hate you to go for the Suplex kit and then have to go through the drama I did with them. From Oz.
I think those that have found the Suplex OK are people who drive smooth roads, Motorways, big A roads etc. Or people who are happy(or are able to drive around) with a low ride height 330mm.
For me driving crappy B, C and unclassified roads, I needed seasickness pills!
from what I've heard Ozzie roads are not brilliant so...
Fitting the Gaz adjustables has given me a proper handling car again.
I also have a set of poly bushings to go on the car but don't really expect them to get on this weekend.

Once fitted keep an eye on your wishbones, I have had to replace both of mine twice. I think the extra load and stress causes the ends to crack and snap. I have used poly bushes for ten years and 100000KM BUT of very hard use. I would not stop using the poly bushes , just keep an eye on the wishbones near the knuckle end.
There has been nil corrosion on the wishbones as we do not need to put down sand and salt to combat snow.
