Well top mounts are a bit worn plus going to get better shocks all round and improve the handing a bit , any one else up there then ?

Just had mine done monday
Top mounts, bearings, lowering springs, peddars dampers, full geometry set up.

Hi Tony a noticeable change to the car I hope ? I think I'm going the right way with mine

[extra330]

Not a massive improvement, but then again mine were in reasonable shape to start with, just wanted the lower look without the over firmness of coilovers.
It has firmed the car up and stiffened slightly, feels new again.
I dont drive mine very hard so cant comment on handling at speed.
My top mounts and bushes were a bit tired so had them changes too whilst Paul changes the shocks.
hope this helps

I have coil overs with adjustable dampers on the Monaro , I like handling but the ride is quite firm , so I'm hoping if I just do shocks on the Maloo then things will be improved , the springs appear fine but damping with what appears to be Monroe shocks seems to be the problem , I have done the rear arb and that's it so far

Coilovers are overrated (IMHO). Conventional is much less hassle, unless you're racing and have the time to set the car up for each track.

Cheers MF , all fitted handling is much more dynamic and responsive it prob rides about 30 per cent better , only slight downside was an oil leak on the front and rear crank seals , does not need doing yet but heading that way , more money lol ouch
