heheh that's right mate!

One step at a time.. And i think at the moment a $10 spring spacer sounds a heap better to the wallet than a $100 spring!

Thanks Matt and ALX, I'll give pedders a call.
I wonder who else stocks superpro? Anyone else have any ideas sydney based?

Thanks!

The part numbers for the rear spacers is SPF0210-6K,8K,12K,19K (depending on thickness)

The fronts are SPF0271-6K or 10K

I live just near fulcrum where they are made but here are the NSW distributors.

Rare spares sell them too from memory but they were like 3 times the price or something silly. I think they were Makay brand.

Well!

The good news is that i got a pair of 12mm spacers, and a pair of 8mm spacers and installed the 12mm tonight!

It's DEFINITELY made a difference and i think it'll do what i needed!
I may even go for a 19mm (the largest) if it needs it once this has bed in a little!

Matt, Thanks so much mate.. I called the sydney distributor who put me onto a retailer directly.. and other than 1x 12mm bushing being out of stock there was no hassle! bout $22 ea though!

Anyhow.. Really happy with how it went, and we'll see how it handles the guys in teh car this weekend!

Thanks to everyone for the input!
Tiny.

Make sure you get the alignment re-done, as this will definitely throw it out some what.
