You don't mean the Bilsteins in the forum classifieds do you?

I wired in my new stereo. Removed the old one and found one hell of a birds nest..... Was apparently done by an Auto Sparky..... Think he trained at Homai blind school. Chopped out all the crap and extended wiring. Removed the bullet pins which had positive volts on them so that if they ever came off they could not short out. The negative ones had the shrouds on. Belled out all the speaker circuits. Connected up stereo and all sounded sweet as. Did not want to annoy the neighbours with a volume test so after washing car went for a drive to blow wave it dry at 150 km/hr :lol: the laugh was on me once I put the headlights on as the power drops off stereo circuit when the lights flip up. Im guessing the feed comes off a relay but on the wrong contact. Will have to wait till the morning for some sunshine to sort it out. The memory supply stays healthy so its only 1 wire to reconnect.

Nice! It helps heaps, I reduced my lock by removing one rack spacer but can still U turn in the same space. Measure my turning radius at roughly 2.3M, stock is 4.6.

Whats yours?

No idea, I'm wanting to get an alignment first as I only eyeballed the toe settings and want to raise it to a sensible height.
