Thanks mate, yeah, spacers still fitted for the perfect flush look. They're great, no dramas with them so far, and plenty of hard tyre squealing cornering and heavy braking. They're really well made, excellent quality and fitment.

The only thing stopping me from getting them is the insurance issues they may cause :/ have you had to let them know?

Had a few PMs about my sway bar set up and realised I hadn't put anything in here about them, so here goes...for those interested...

Installed a set of Whiteline 22mm front and rear. Front is 2-way adjustable - BSF39Z, rear is 3-way adjustable BSR49XZ. Rear came with the mount supports too (KBR15).

I've got them both set on the hardest settings, which the Whiteline data sheet says is a 44% increase on the front and 115% increase on the rear. Puts the bias nicely rearwards

Also installed a set of Kartboy end links (KB-017-08COMBO) front and rear. Really solid, with a handy set of bushes which allow you to install them so they're completely upright whichever setting you have the bars at.

Photos:















End result is a much nicer balance. Understeer is pretty much eliminated. In the wet, the back steps out with ease. Overall, really happy with the set-up. Did a mini-track day at Midvale speed dome a few weeks ago, and the pictures show it sits nice and level in the corners

And for completeness, found a few photos of a couple other bits installed...

eBay spec boost gauge and PLX multi-gauge (hooks into my PLX Kiwi Wifi system to display oil temp & oil pressure):



The colour match to the cluster gauges is perfect! Very happy with that and it only cost about $80!

...and some LED side lights:



...to go with the LED strip lights I installed:



And finally, the (eBay is great!) tinted LED tail lights:

No more mods (apart from a new stop light switch!), just more photos

Great looking car. You still need to do the LED indicators to complete the job. Check out tapturn. http://www.autowindow.com

I've already got the tapturn installed in this and the wife's Foz. It's a great little mod! You reckon I should change the globes over to LED too?

Why not since you have the relay. I have some massive stylish LEDs that cost stuff all from eBay. Led technology is moving so quickly that they get better each week.

Rather than the LEDs that look like chips soldered onto boards you can get some machined billet looking ones with big puddles of orange led. Hard to describe.
