I can get everything I need to do the AU2 conversion for under $500 here in Brisbane. JC I saw what FTG quoted you, seems to be a lot comparatively!
Yeh - stupid price they quoted since I already have more than 50% of what's required. You'd think a site sponsor would actually look after us, wouldn't you?

Any chance you could give me the wreckers name you got your price from, I might just see if they have more. I've tried our local ones, and all I can get is LHS lower control arm and stub for $185 total, but would then still need to source RHS plus swaybar. At least the local Canberra wrecker's prices are at least more consistent with what you've been quoted, just that Canberra wreckers don't really do a lot of AU2 s etc - they still go interstate.
