Question Swampy Turner

G'day, I have a 2000 AUII Fairmaont Ghia (140K) and find that the continual dollying of the front guards should not be necessary. I'm in the market to re-do the struts (and springs if necessary). I was thinking along the lines of the Te50 set up if it is a straight swap? And if I can get it aftermarket from pedders or lovell's etc? Does anyone have any opinions or alternate suggestions. I am not looking for a 'race' set-up, just something that handles and sits well. 9 spoke standard Ghia wheels will stay. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

I'm not sure about the series 2 but series 1 TE suspension was basically just Monroe GT Gas struts & shocks, which you can pick up from Repco, etc.

Took the car out for a cruise again yesterday and noticed, more-so now that I drive a BF for work that everything rattles and squeeks. Might be that staying soft-ish is a good option. I am a bit worried if I go too hard it will shake out the fillings but still want to get ridd of the body roll. Where's a good spot to get specs for the boge's?
