Hi George,

I use and recommend

East Coast Suspension,

Shop 9 Auto Plaza

16 Waratah Street,

Kirawee, 2232,

Ph: 95451044

I personally refuse to go anywhere near Heasmans

[N1GTR]

I used Heasmans last week, couldnt be happier with their work, professionalism and price

[siddr20]

+1 for east coast suspension!! they know there stuff

have got a lot of things done thru them.. castor rods, tie rod ends, wheell alignments.. bushes etc..

[NIS.26L]

thanks guys any idea which of the two has had the most experiance with gtrs?

i don't know about east coast but heasmans have plenty of experience with GTRs and every other type of car.

which parts exactly did you get? if you have all the arms that means front lower control arms , front upper control arms , rear lower control arms but I didn't think ikeya make 34 GTR rear upper control arms?

[N1GTR]

I used Heasmans last week, Doug knew exactly what was what. Make sure Doug is the guy you speak to

Here's how they left my car for pickup (im always worried about where i park it) so i asked them to leave it somewhere safe, and they gave me this whole space

which ones? i got the the tracton rods and the camber arms and the lower A arms for the rear and the subframe pinapples, for the front i got the upper and lower and the upper link rods, i didnt get the tie rod ends so im hopeing they wont be needed when ajusting the roll center

hmm...wonder if Heasmans could get me in for superlap!

Steve0 - what work did they do? a touch alignment or did they fit new parts?

I need some work done before superlap....otherwise I'll add suspension to my book of excuses for superlap lol

that's a bit rude to the rest of the staff there mate. i have no problem with anyone that works there so I don't know why you wouldn't use anyone other than doug? sure doug is great and has been doing alingments for probably longer than i've been alive but who do you think is training all their other staff???? I don't know how many times you've been there but I must have used them at least a dozen times over the years and never had bad job done by any of their staff. to imply that doug is the only guy who knows what he's doing is a bit strong considering guys like paul joyner are some of the most experienced people in aus for suspension set-up. just call them up, make an apointment and drop the car off, whoever works on it will be sure to do what you ask.

george, you will love the ikeya front lower control arms. they are awesome. the front castor rods are literally more than double the thickness of any factory or aftermarket rod I have seen. they are good value too at around the $700 dollar mark considerng you get lower arm, roll centre adjuster and castor rod for that.

yeh i cant wait to fit them they look great topnotch pillow balls too, worth every cent

Alignment and camber change

Wait a sec, you've got me all wrong - all the guys there do good work, but ive found its always best to speak with the boss

Doug has always done the work on my families cars (been there more than 20 times with 6 cars in the family), and he's very smart. Afterall, his dad was the founder of the place and from my experience the rest of the staff go to him when they have questions to ask. The reason i go there is that my dad recommended the place as he was mates with Dougs dad when Dougs dad ran the place, and ive been very happy with their work, as im sure all their customers are

Anyway, in short, use Heasmans

try road & race in rydalmere

Heasmans are pretty good. I think Doug does all the alignments. The only problem i have had is that they aligned my car with worn tie rods. I think this was just an oversight tho as they said they always check them as a matter of course.
