Alex,

BC Racing coilovers get a pretty good wrap on the forums.

You can get a set through just jap in Sydney for about $1300... They're on my list...

This is the BC Coilovers for our cars

$1149 is a pretty good price. Do they fit the sportback as well? I'm fairly certain the suspension set up is exactly the same as sedan. As far as I can tell, the only difference is that the read windows extends to the back and the tail lights/panels are different.

Can anyone confirm this?

Sure do.
All non-evo CJs have compatible suspension.
Only difference is the back of the sportbacks is heavier.
Better weight distribution yo

These are the ones I have http://justjap.com/store/product.php?pr ... 422&page=6

They have better shocks basically. And the rear ones seem to be designed differently.

Well, the Sun finally kicked in here in Adelaide, so I decided to clean my car!

Also did a usual routine check of everything, all is well. I'm due for an oil change soon though, and also I noticed that I might need to repaint the entire car in the next year or two. :/

Today I spent a couple hours changing LEDs in my stereo and yesterday i did my aircon controls.

Very happy with results

Check them out:

I just need to change the dark red perspex in the stereo screen to a dark blue perspex to complete the look.

i used electrical tape to get around the radius. Its more flexible than painters tape.
