Its kinda the other way round...(I'm gonna get stoned after this)

But yeah we kinda have a bit more meet ups than the northen boys. They have loads of big events, motorshows and so forth where we have small drift meetings or track days or dyno nights and breakfast runs.

Give Steve Hurley at Koni a call too. He'll give you a good price on a set of Koni gas shocks with H&R springs for the application that might suit you.

Oh yes,... welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately he's based in Jhb, but able to ship nationwide. I am sure he has a recommended installer as well... I saw an ad for them in the S&S and Car magazine... hope it helps and good luck.
