Matt, this is a long shot but i get a lot of shock absorber work done for my 4WDrives through two great guys in Artarmon, Eddie and Chris 9439 2995 Artarmon Automotive, they farm them out but at least its a starting point. Let them know i gave you their name, at least that will make them laugh!

These are the people that have rebuilt my Bilsteins. But they charge like wounded bulls.

Hi Matt,
sorry to hear about the Lancia,
I would suggest giving Whiteline a call.

Hi Matt,

I hope you find a solution soon

I must say it was great fun accompanying you on the rally Sorry you guys didn't make it to the finish

While we were on the rally you allways had a good tale I loved your vivid description of your cars handling capabilities without front shocks Also, the story of the stuck throttle was interesting However, I guess that is the price you pay for driving an Italian Supercar Also, I guess that it makes sourcing spare parts difficult

However, after going to dinner with your mates, I can say that the Lancia drivers are certainly the most fun I guess they have to have a sense of humour to drive those cars in a hard 4 day rally

Cheers

Robbo
