check out the group buy section, Sydneykid is offering some good stuff there.

Definately look at the group buy section, SK has got some pretty good gear there for a reasonable price, better than Heasman pricing for sure.

I've heard good things about the quality of Heasemans' work, but nothing about their value for money.

Heasman's are good - I drive about 350 km to get there - but make sure you get a firm quote before you commit. They are also not the fastest so whatever it is be preapred to leave the car there.

heasman's done a good job on my car adj my handeling pack and replacing a wheel stud.But,their hourly rate sucks.I was charged $80.00 an hour it ended up coming to just under $400 dollars.

They were working on some serious race cars when i was there.

But i have no complaints about the quality of the workmanship.And i have never heard of anyone coming from there haveing a complaint about them.I hear allot of complaints about the workmanship of pedders though.

M2C....

had stuff done there a couple of times, always excellent work they know what they are doing, but you PAY for it as others have said.

Not surprised. Bilstein make some of the nicest suspension components around. If I didn't want the in-cabin adjustability of Tein coilovers, I'd probably save my pennies and get a Bilstein kit.

Pedders is like the kebab shop of the suspension world. You only go there if you're desperate and not quite right in the head, and you're sure to feel nauseous and regretful afterwards.

Hey all,

I work in the motorsport department of Bilstein Australia and we are located in the same building as Heasmans Steering.

The guys in the workshop do really good work, and its rare that we have customers come back unsatified. Generally they come back with more work as they were happy with the service they recieved last time.

Admitedly, sometimes the wrok can be a little slow due to the high number of cars coming through the shop. However i think this reflects on the number of satisfied customers and the aim to get each job done right.

Also dont forget that there is the motrosport division on sight who are more than happy to speak with you about shock rates, wheel alignment and general suspension settings. We also modify, revalve and service Bilsteins on site and can perform corner weighting on site.

Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions...

Also, i drive a 200sx and am a member of the Nissan sports car club, so i have an interest in performance Nissans.

Cheers,

Jono
