Hi,

Just asked about some RM's Para's at FWD. None in stock till March and......$1400ish for the front and rears,(LWB), Ouch!!!! Price due to exchange rate.
Looks like Santa is not bringing Para's for Xmas this year!!!! Boo Hoo!

CLR in the west of Sydney/Blue Mountains (I think) often carry parabolics. I am not sure what brand they are or how good they are - definitely no RMs though but a lot cheaper.

A reasonably competent spring works should be able to knock up a set for you. Not sure of the sort of savings as you are quoting for front and back.

save up for the rocky mountains, they seem to be the best :cool:. They have held up well in the front of my series 3 with a heavy Isuzu donk up front. In the mean time just take a leaf or two out of the standard spring packs. ;)

I have had the Rocky Mountain gear under olmate for a couple of years now. They have been great - I would go with what Paul has previously said ;)

I tried this option with a few spring companies and I was told the same thing, No one in Australia has the equipment to produce a tapered leaf. I ended up buying a set from FWD.

Hi all
I ve been running RM's on my 88 for 7 years with no major problems except the bushes. I have revered to using poly bushes with a crush tube, which i have drilled a 3/16 hole through , then drilled a 3/16 hole through the shackle bolt & tapped a thread for a grease nipple. Proceed then to tighten shackle bolt to specification & pump a little grease into the bush, you will have a ride nearly as good as coils.

Cheers Bob

G.day, I have a 76. station wagon sitting in my yard at Bribie Island with a set of Rocky Mountain para's on it. They have done about 4,000klm, If you take the whole shebang you can have it for $600. 2 leaf in front and 3 leaf in rear.
Have a good one....John.
