Just ordered a Pedders 'sports ryder tower bar'

[essjayyell]

I've decided the first major thing I want to do with my Astina is upgrade the suspension. I like the idea of doing it in stages so I can really notice the difference as I go along. It might be a bit more expensive in the end, but I dont think I'll notice it as much as I would if I went out and paid $1500 odd in one go for whitleline's 'the works' pack or something similar.

So, it gets here on Monday..

i like doing things in steps too - for the same reason, I appreciate it more if I can feel it getting better and better.

let us know how it goes :)

nice! :D

Far out! it looks incredibly similar to the Whiteline article. Except the passenger side has a full ring around the top of the strut. I wonder why they only did one side like that though for the Pedders item... :?

Brake line/clamp is in the way, easier to do a half ring mounting plate than work around the afore mentioned... Didn't seem to bother them much with your car though.

Hey Grim,
So does essjayyell, it's common here to have a couple of spares left about the place our cars. I've got even more spares on my strut towers...

It's an optional extra put there by an absent minded engineer.
