Thanks Smitty,

have been poking around, chatting to folks and reading lots of forums and articles. Had settled on a combo of Lovells springs and Koni shocks and was going to get a local fella to install for me ........... then I called Nathan at Advantage Suspension (should have started here first LOL).

Top bloke, very helpful and came very highly recommended (not just by you but a few different sources ....... including Lovell's themselves LOL).

Was not originally considering Billsteins but after chatting to him and doing some more poking around, I've settled on a Lovells/Billstein combo ...... very knowledgeable bloke with LOTS of experience with Commodore and in particular VF's.

Looks like it won't be as cheap as I was hoping (given the strut tops and various bushes will most likely be flogged out according to him with a car my age and km's) but also not stupid money either.

So the ballpark figures he has given me are reasonable (not so sure the minister will agree, so I will have to pick my moment ........ I've already started laying the ground work, so she knows and agrees that the suspension needs addressing - it helps when her Ranger takes corners and undulation better than mine and she knows it LOL as she was complaining about how 'boaty' it was Yeah!)

Will probably start dropping hints about the dangers of flogged suspension and follow up with cost a wee while later and and take it from there ......... Fingers crossed.

Thanks for all the advice fellas.

price up Oem and then point out how much more cost efficient it is going aftermarket…

Did you get it sorted yet Franga?

Not yet mate .......

Have a good idea on what I want to do now and also on cost but $$$ is a bit tight at the moment .......... just got my bonus too (which was meant to cover it) and the wife took the bloody lot (not to mention all my ebay sales ......... FFS) so gunna have to wait a bit.

Can someone remind the benefits or a being married (at 57 it sure ain't special cuddles either ..........) ........... damn, I just said that out loud huh
