Have you checked with SHC or any other performance shops in Vic. You can try Overseas Auto in Van.

Greg, <p>There you are, finally. I have some stuff for you from the MxWest Club. Left you a few messages awhile ago. email me or give me a call 595.5460.<p>280 + for Eibach is pretty good. Let me know if you need help installing the stuff, me and Kevin have done a few by now. Additionally, you may wish to get new rubber strut boots if yours are shot. Mine were. Good luck.

I'm assuming this is Taras :) We were having a *lot* of trouble with my phone messaging system a while back.. <p>I will give you a call after Easter (about when i should be getting all the stuff i ordered)<p>I would *love* some help putting the struts and springs on and yes, i will be getting new boots and all teh necessary bits. I want to do this right :) <p>Other things I have on order or have received and are waiting to go on my car in the next 2 months:<p>- B&M short shift kit w. bronzoil bushings
- ACT Clutch (planning on professional install of clutch/water-pump/timing belt.. this is beyond my tool crib and skill)
- ZX2 struts w. Susp. Tech spring replacement.<p>I pay well in beer and scotch for any help you'd be willing to give :) <p>Take care and I'll talk to you soon! Thanks for holding on to my stuff and being so patient. <p>Greg

Dumb question, what will better struts do for your car?... could I just get better struts and not lower the car?
