Depends if they stick to it...Last time it was 'we had 2 guys working on it so it costs double'

 

Pretty sure by that logic it'd take half the time hence costing the same.. but no.

Then there's the whole 'who set your car up that's way out'..... 'you did champ' , saga.

as birds said if they cannot be adjusted to lower then legal your all good.

 

the idea of Coil overs  (v coil over strut which is a coil over anyhow) is the adjustability.

if you get your spring rate and dampener right should be just as good as a shock coil combo.

or you can go Jap Tiens and shake the coins out of your pocket every time you drive it.

 

This is what I did and after 3 years of up and down Toorak Rd they no longer perform the function of what you would describe a shock absorber

Not to mention squeak as fk in the cold

Can't wait to get my Shockworks in

Trutrack was adamant about no rattle guns etc which is important to me, especially with brand new, black wheels... But I'd make a point of that when dropping it off wherever I go, given it's literally brand new and flawless, they can't say shit

man, that one friend who is nice in person but a f**king spanner on facebook who believes any old bullshit that crappy pages spits out. it is funny when their friends have relatable instances such as: "my friends mum is a witch"

were they all quoting the same shocks ? as there is a pretty big range/price difference in the different models.

 

as for king springs ...yeah

MCA rings a bell

 

coilover option was $2500

Bilsteins with king $2600

Bilsteins with H&R $2800-$2900 (TBC)

I think that's what mighty car mods used recently in their lancer build.. some aussie mob up in QLD sort em out for your car 

I'd be checking out pedders XA coilovers (if they're still called that) got them in mine for like 2k installed.. almost going on 5 years no issues and ride is very nice and comfy, most people (Birds included) were 'shocked' it had coilovers in it for the ride quality it has 

I had/have some issues with my suspension (bilsteins)

Was considering going to Quadrant. Seem to have plenty of good reviews. Seems like they know Bilsteins well as well, which is what I'm after.

Actually I didn't have issues... then I HAD issues after taking my suspension to a very well known shop that isn't Centreline...

 

......so, looking for someone who actually knows Bilsteins.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
