Got my car back yesterday with Nitrons fitted, Steve heath droplinks. What a difference to the standard shocks. It doesn't bump steer anymore, doesn't follow the tramlines and I cruised home at 60mph yesterday (no fuel) around every tight corner.

Only problem so far is the back is a little low. I grounded a couple of speed humps this morning. Just a minor niggle that'll be easily rectified.

I think it was around £1200 for the Nitrons, fitted and setup, plus £110 for the droplinks. Trouble is I had other stuff done at the same time. Stainless waterpipes, rad rebuild, etc so the bill was higher.

It's about time you spent all that money that you 'put aside for repairs' ie you screwed out of me !! smile
Money well spent on a good car Dave. (it's nice when your old car goes to a good home)
