I preferred the way the Sprint handled/rode with the Pedders so I just got a quote for supply only for them just for interest sake and nearly fell over.

I don't really want to go too much over $1500 but if I have to so be it.

Cheers in advance.

The below has been done to mine and it sticks to the road like you know what to a blanket.
  • Koni yellows
  • 27mm whiteline sway bar (it have a 30mm adjustable one but it kept bending the sway bar links).
  • Superpro bushes throughout

It doesn't feel rough at all. I didn't feel any sort of real difference in NVH when I had all of the bushes replaced. The konis were in it when I bought it.

The car is running on 18s and the only thing that I wished that I had done was go for a more performance based tyre. The car only does about 2-3000k a year and in hindsight, I should have thought to myself that tyre wear is not an issue with doing those sort of ks.
