I know i may get shot for this, but go to pedders and get the 14 dollar suspension check. They did it for a different car and showed me what was wrong with it. They also said all other things were wrong and needed fixing though lol, but just pay for the 14 dollar check and see what they say and if they have advise, just DO NOT GET THEM TO DO ANYTHING!!!!!

haha, yeah that's actually a pretty good idea, but get them to show you what's wrong and where, that way you know what needs fixing and can do it yourself

Cheap, should ring Sydney stores. they know how to charge!
I agree with Shane, and woot, take it to pedders, spend the cost of a few happy meals on a sus check and have them actually show you the probs.
DIY the bits and be done with it, that stuff's not hard.

That alignment data looks screwed up to me. Going by that pic the rears clearly have more camber than the fronts but the data states the opposite.
0.3 is basically vertical.

In real life the right hand side is quite vertical and thats the one that is 0.3
the left hand one is -1.8 and you can tell its a lot more cambered...
So must be the pics! Hopefully gets sorted tomorrow
