Suppliers of modded RR suspension parts

I am looking at improving the suspension performance of my 89 RR. I am thinking that a cheap, simple and effective way of doing this is:
a) get modified shock mounts
b) get spring retainers
c) get spring relocation cones
d) get some longer shocks
I know of a few places OS that make these for Rangies but i haven't seen any in OZ. Can people recommend anywhere that do make them?
Thanks.

Scorpion racing has a distributer here in Wa {Rova Craft }
they will also export any item to Australia at quite good prices strangely enough usally cheaper than what Rova Craft will sell them for!!!

Bahah you're not talking to yourself are you?
Just out of curiosity - do Rangies have radius arms?

Dave at RovaCraft has a huge mark up and i wouldnt recommend going there , also you will have to endure his fictisious stories about him racing in Paris-Dakar
.Too Dave is unwilling to sell parts from kits of Scorpion -Racing , you either buy a full kit or nothing , where as Sam from Scorpion will send out parts ! I have purchased ultra heavy duty spring retainers from the US and they are on their way , 15 sets complete for the rear to retain both the top and the bottom , so instead of cones these create a fullcrum affect {replaces the thin steel at the bottom } inc all bolts washers and half the price of Rova Crafts , if ayone is interested i will sell them for the cost price , im in Perth so you pay postage .Also i have shock towers {lowered} and rear shock mounts comming {lowered 2 inches } and stainless steel brake lines 4 -6 inches longer than standard and should be landed soon {slow boat to China} i have a very good importer who will get anything in from the US ! So if anyone on the forum wants or needs anything from US i will be more than happy to try and help out .I have started to import as much as i can afford and will slowly grow to bigger n better as time goes . I believe Kevin at Rover Tech will be stocking a show room full of kit in the next few months .Hope this is of some help

Brad,
sounds good will be very interested.
As you know I was contemplating making all this but time is very limited.
Good to see you on here.
regards
Michael.

I make most of that stuff in Melbourne with a couple of mates who have Rangies, need to pull finger out and photo them so you guys can have a look. Only want to recoup costs.

Why lowered? Wouldn't you want them extended to cope with longer shocks? Or am I missing something (no smartarse replies bodge!
