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.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
