some real sound advice there, and im likin the idea of powder coatin the rear ARB Geo man, would help keep the rust at bay too!!! at present i only have GMax springs and a front (and waitin for my replacement rear) upper strut. i have to say the car is very unhappy at present because she is minus her ususal rear upper strut! im a LOT less confident in the corners without it, it really has made a horrible difference without it! I have to say, Jays advice sounds bang on the money, start there and work your way up, as ryno said, tyres, and then follow Geo's and Joz's guidance! Phil.
