Thanks Mike, just picked the car up from the alignment shop and took it for a little blast through the local park. Handles like it's on rails! I think it was suffering from a little toe-out in the front wheels so it felt quite "darty" (new word!) before, but now it feels very direct. The new 450/750 springs and new shocks have made a huge difference, as have the new poly bushes. I guess the bushes have gotten rid of that 'sloppy' feel it had before, and the shocks have firmed up the ride but reduced the jarring that I used to get on rough roads.
All in all a very worth-while exercise (and I'm practicing saying that for when I explain to my wife that I've just spent NZ$2,500 on my toy!)
