service time = upgrade time mwhywahahhah

[leck]

As part of the servicing ritual, i think its time to reward the little girl for 15000ks of looking after me on the road.

Ive read through a stack of threads on suspension/brakes as those are the two areas that are annoying the pants off me at the moment. Some of these questions could probably go in the faq as they are quite generic.

Stock suspension is quite bouncy. Will just a rear swaybar settle it down enough or is it better off with konis/eibach. What sort of dollar is attached to suspension upgrades keeping in mind i will be getting mechanics to do it.

Putting in a rear swaybar.

Getting the APR 6hr trial, not getting it yet as the gearbox is crunching 1st-2nd so potential warranty on that shortly.

brakepads - probably getting ferodos.

RSB is apparently quite easy to put on. DIY if you have the right equipments. 30 mins max.

Needs to revisit to get the bolts and stuff are all tight.

That would be a good first upgrade on suspension. I want one as well, but it costs as much to get it delivered to NZ, so I am waiting until my cousin comes over, he can hand carry for me.

Unless someone here is coming to visit NZ within the next 3 months!

Where abouts in Godzone are you, Mate? My daughter is coming over here next week (from Palmy) and staying for a week ... then going back.

PM me.
