Suspension Workshops In Se Suburbs

[battery]

Hey guys I’m having some issues with my suspension and wheel alignment setup, I know there’s heaps of workshops around but most of them have no idea about imports.

Any recommendations?

[khunjeng]

there are a few.

However make the effort to go to Centerline Suspension in thomastown. Pretty mucht he best place to go and know a fair bit about the skyline setup.

Traction Tyres at Rowville.

Been there for a wheel alignment/balance. They know their imports and have set up plenty of suspension for rally/track cars.

I think they also recommended by SydneyKid (who sells the whiteline package) so they know their stuff

Cheers

Ye a lot of people use Traction Tyres for adjustments like this.

I havent personally, but lots of people i know have

took my car to traction tyres in rowville.

Not really the friendliest of bunch, i guess i was expecting full-on motor sport enthusiasts who couldn't stop talking about it.

Anyways, got a wheel balance and alignment, got rid of the steering wheel shudders/vibrations i was getting at say 90km/hr+, so fixed that up, so on the freeway she's nice and stable.

Um... didn't really notice much else of a difference. Although, the R34 doesn't have a lot of adjustments options from factory. I can't remember exactly, but the front doesn't have say camber adjustment, or something like that. So they adjusted what they could.

Drives straight, fixed shudder on the highway, so yeah, was a good job. And the other thing to mention is that not all places are setup to do 4WS alignments, etc. Obviously these guys are.

Yes, SydneyKid does recomment them. I've been very keen on his suspension kits for a while, but just the $ issue. But yeah, if i get the kit, i'll probably take it to Traction Tyres just because they are closer. But i've spoken to Chris at Centreline a couple of times, and he's super friendly, and was completely cool with giving good, in-depth advice over the phone.

Cant beat Centreline. But if distance is an issue go to Traction Tyres.

odd..my experience at Traction Tyres was great.

They had a seperate person specialised in brakes/rotors and we discussed the various pads/rotors for my style of driving.

Fixed my vibration at 100km/h and was always happy to answer any of my questions about suspensions/brakes.

Traction Tyres(rowville) ftw

PM me if you wanna hear my costly lesson with Centreline

or mine or justin911's

P.S the 'discount' prices in the whiteline SK group buy can be beaten pretty much anywhere with absolutely no contacts ...and beaten well ....and without asking them to match or beat a price....

[khunjeng]

costly lesson or not. They know their shit.

I'm gonna try the Rowville guys as it turns out...LOL. So much closer to me.

SE, I can think of Strutfit (Lance is an older bloke and knows alot of old school stuff, but he is well priced and will chat your head off)

He is in Dandenong, Ive never had him do anywork, but he has helped out a few of my workmates with alot of stuff. Could be worth a chat to see if he is interested in helping you out.

Ye knowing is one thing, doing a decent job is another
