Hi

On my previous car a 2006 STX I had a Old Man Emu, it worked fine. What you realy need, is some underbody protection, Radiator, engine and if Auto, cover that as well.

John

Thanks John, what underbody protection did you have?

Yeah they are pretty good for me. I used Ironman underbody protection as well. My car is Spanish built so had to modify the middle (big) one slightly. If you have a hand held grinder it is easy to mod.

Can anyone else perhaps recommend a good suspension specialist in Vic? I also am interested in getting a new setup but i am in Gippsland which is south east vic. Anyone have a suspension specialist from my region that they have dealt with?

ARB in Bairnsdale have been great to deal with. No one is perfect, but any warranty issues I have had, have been fixed promptly with no quibbles. Sometimes it's worth paying a bit more than rock bottom price for good customer service.
