Equivelent Suspension To Sydneykid

so he revalved the R33 ones? if so how were they still at off the shelf prices?

Yeah they were. I think they were still off the shelf price or even slightly cheaper than what heasemans were charging at the time- not 100% sure though I as didn't buy a set of the 33's to know the price difference.

Valid point- I don't know the answer. I think revalving cost him bugger all with the amount of work business he was sourcing through bilstein.

I had a detailed discussion about it with him and a few other cars at the time. I also know the guy that actually builds/designs shock absorbers at heasemans who is also a member of NSCC. Jono was the suspension engineer of the autosalon drift car. He speaks very highly of Gary. He also built my coilovers- I just purchased them through Gary.

lol i just realised ive been dealing with heasmans for the last few weeks to get my bilsteins revalved, i was just calling them sydney shocks, its only when u said jono worked there it kind of clicked as he's the guy that did my shit.

to give an idea, mine cost me around $400, and trade was like $80 less or something, so how he could sell them for even close to off the shelf doesnt add up for me. for the record i only paid $50 for my shocks so was about the same cost as newies anyway, just with custom valving.

ouch, now i know why i was told to play with konis for rates then when sorted go bilstein innards, almost three times the price... think i will leave ones til they blow!

yeh was a lot more than i was told it would be by 2 sources including gary, but thats the way things go i guess.
