Need to get the rear guards rolled in order to fit the big 275 rubber.

Anyone know of a place northside that will do a TOP JOB ????

Don't care how much it costs (within reason) - but must be a top job - no paint cracks

Cheers,

umm I had an exellent job done at tempe tyres....not really northside tho....i think the main thing is hang around annoying htem while they do it....amkes them more careful.

I've seen some apalling jobs done :(

Got it done at Tempe Tyres today !

Dr Shocks in Brookvale does it - but he couldn't do today as he was putting a new roof on his workshop. I would have normally used him. But I didn't want to drive around much longer with the rears scraping - So i went to Tempe - It's not that far away actually...

Anyway - LHS rolled perfectly. RHS - little bit of paint chipping - but you can't see it as it is on the inside part. The guy at Tempe reckoned that the RHS guard must have been repainted at some stage....

They do a good job - Heat the guard up with a heat gun - and only let the guard rolling guy perform the work.

Cost - $40 per side.

They did my fronts, cost $50 a side though

No paint chips either side

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
