Ahhh Greg... sorry, yes I do know. Gregs jigger is a great vehicle!:(

funny thing was at zukana his back maxie diff lock didnt engage properly and a toyota landcrusers frount arb diff lock dident engage properly so they were both even but greg still beat him on the hill climb,so your correct again.

Thats a P38a on coils done by Allranges 4wd in bayswater vic.

I think the kit was supplied from LRA but im not sure, maybe Mick could fill in any gaps now he's on here.

Worked very very well after it got some decent shocks that didnt turn the rear end into a pogo stick over woopty doo's.

i actualy found that same problem,the back was jumpy on coils around courners .went to jim hunters suspension (blacktown nsw )for a free shockie test found my std factory frounts were 81 which is very good (like new almost ) but back shocks showed 62 which in english anything under 60 is unroadworthy .4 new shocks from arb changed it back to sports car ,so dont blame coils for sloppy handeling untill you get your shocks tested moral of story .by the way rang pedders liverpool way told me rangie to heavy for his shock test machine ,aragent (jxxk).jim at least didnt tell me to go away ,good person.

Speak to Andrew at Les Richmond Automotive (formerly known as Rangie Spares) in Thomastown- he knows his stuff with springs, set me up a treat in my 88RR.
