why not coil overs many more choices and you'll probably end up spending the same and have more adjust ability

[RubyRS4]

Swapping suspensions is easy. If you source the suspension you need, I'm sure a few good folks will help swap them out.

[maklaw]

i use my car as an daily driving and i dont want any coil over because its too stiff and hard ride.i am after comfertable shocks and spring settings.

as i read 242 pages in suspension section,most of the people saying KYB and Bliesten good choice..now i am confused which one to choose and where to buy,and how much it cost roughly..

after buying where to go for fitting...so if you adelaide guys got any information where to buy and what and where to go for fitting that will be great....thanx

[Madaz]

here's the thing most of us Adelaide guys run coilovers well there all coilovers just after market

you dont have to get drift king spring rates get something a little softer and you'll have the ability to adjust the damper as well which KYB possibly dont let you do

there is Car Torque @ Kent Town give them a call if you want some more advice from a business

[maklaw]

hey Madaz Thankx bro for your help,i will sure going to give them a call..so they supply and fit too...for road use what coilovers you suggesting for comfort ride..as problem in my car is....

when i bought this car,car was too low so i asked the person to lift up to legal hight and he changed the springs i think..

after few weeks now when ever am going on hump and bumpy roads sound coming from front end,its sound like spring pressing or rubbing on somthing....i dont know what to do..car's suspension making a noises now again dont know its a shocks out or spring not sitting properly..

i think i should go to pedders and check it out...any idea guys..

[Madaz]

whats your budget for coilovers

you have ISC $1499 but i think there on special atm

HSD

TIEN - made for australian conditions (so i hear)

BC coils

and lots more but they are the main few i would recommend

obviously you then have your jap stuff

HKS

Cusco

TIEN

Nismo

i dont have much money to spend,coz i am a international student and i have to pay heaps money for study...anyways i will be looking $1000 to spend on suspension.

hey guys am back lol what do you think about this quote....

A 3" catback system including mandrel bent pipe work, resonator and stainless steel muffler would set you back $980 fitted in stainless steel and $780 fitted in mildsteel..

Now my question is it ok to have cat back exhaust on turbo car...?? Thanx in advance guys..cheers

[Luciano]

id find a one piece dump/front pipe, and a second hand catback. it'll probably be cheaper and more effective. get a few mates around and fit it yourself

[Madaz]

thankz in advance

[heslo]

How about you call up one of the many workshops listed in the Workshop Thread stickied in the SA section and find out yourself? It's not that hard and seems these days people are afraid to pick up a telephone and call someone.

[Bl4cK32]

Might i add, searching the relevant sections in the forum as a whole to answer any further questions. Helping people is one thing, but asking for advice that is freely available and been covered numerous times gets old fast.

Your not going to find cost of parts and labor charge, as it can change regularly. Use the workshop thread and make a phone call as suggested.

[maklaw]

thanks for the reply,but what is the harm to ask fellow skylines owner about the price/cost,as you guys know 70% mechnic are dodgy...i called couple of them....$600 for water pump replacement is right??

[Bl4cK32]

Call the workshops, and compare pricing yourself. There is a list of recommended workshops here which others have been happy with service and cost and are hardly what people would refer to as dodgy.

[rad100]

its a pretty big job as balancer, timing belt etc have to come out. then re-do timing.

might as well do timing belt while your at it.

and new tensioners.

heck just get a 100k serivce

[scibidibibop]
