        H&R's def firm up the ride alot and does help. I am undecided if they are setup right for the B roads near me at the moment though.

        As for Whiteline you could try demon tweeks in UK or import direct from australia.

            Hi,

            Yes the shocks make a huge difference. I drive mainly on motorway and a simple task like changing lanes feels so much better. braking too is better. body roll is not an issue any more

            the spings turned out to be very expensive as they no longer make them, and they had to be split from HnR kit as i didnt want HnR shocks but koni adjustable. springs from HnR themselves, konis from somewhere else. QRS supplied and fitted.

                what else could cause a slight knocking sounds at the front guys?

                ive replaced wishbone/subframe bushes, drop link arms, ARB, shocks/springs, tie rods, drive shafts, top mounts ....

                ball joints?
