    The coppers in QLD are pretty relaxed, they only ever seem to pull over commodores.

    I rotated my wheels. I'm very impressed by the tread wear rate I'm getting out of these tyres...The Conties have nothing on these, and I would have had to replace them 10,000km ago.

    My brother finally installed my H&R springs for me. I'm loving it.

    I've found the ride is only slightly stiffer than stock, so still very comfortable.

    However its definitely more 'jiggly' than stock. But that is a result of keeping the stock shocks. Its not too bad, but definitely noticeable from the drivers perspective.

    The springs combined with shortened shocks would be an unbeatable package of ride and looks.

    Define 'jiggly' -- I'm looking at putting in some H&Rs purely for looks and comfort, so if you mean jiggly as the car rocking back and forth when braking hard or bouncy over a bumpy road, then I can deal with that. But if cornering is worse and it loses traction with the road then that's not so good.

    Its not how what you just described. The car sits flatter through the corners. The ride just seems a little more bouncy but its hard to describe.
