Post by: stratie on February 16, 2006, 16:24:56: Extended shackles from a 109 will do the job (Ã‚Â£20 for a set from paddocks) or go the whole hog and fit parabolics with pro comp shocks and bigger tyres.
Just depends on how much you want to spend?
A new set of spings and the 109 shackles will do a grand job for less than Ã‚Â£100.
If you want the parras and pro comps add another Ã‚Â£250 on top.

Would those be the ones that Barry had about 18 months ago :?: I nearly had them but had just bought some Camac from him a few weeks earlier.

No joking if they were rubbish i'd be the first bloke to rub his nose in it (shame he ain't the BHP to make the most of them :lol: )
