Yeah I have gone to pedders in the past for their $32 suspension assessment which is not bad. Identifies shitty bushes but the quote they guve is always ridiculous. I live in Bulleen vic. Near Doncaster and Templestowe

Re: I want handling performance, not slam-age.
For stock sways bars I'd recommend 8/5kg, for a little more comfort OR if you're tyres aren't that grippy.
10/6 if you're willing to pass comfort up for more performance.
Seeing as you have a na6 you might appreciate some light chassis bracing as well. I think that comes down to personal preference though.
FYI I have 7/5kg BCs with a 24mm whiteline front bar set on the stiffest setting. With 195/50 re002s I thought it was a great combo. In my opinion BCs are okay for the $$$. If I was to do it again I'd look at spending a bit more and getting a higher quality shock.

Re: I want handling performance, not slam-age.
I have a 93 na8. I will keep stock sway bars for now. When I get a couple of track days under me I will see if sway bars will help. Right now I am looking for a good spring platform to begin with.

My comfort on 9/6 is awesome. Better then my konis and kings. Comes down to shock valving and sway bars as much as spring rate.
I've back to backed against a another car with AVO coil overs at 1/2 - 2/3 the spring rate and the MCA made the bumps appear to not exist in comparison.

Maybe not silicone seal haha, might try some rubber weather stripping on the edges of the glove box for instance. But that is for another now.
I still haven't heard back from MCA. I emailed them on Saturday.
