whitelines are around 2k arent they?? you would think that whitelines would be the choice cause theyre local so theyre made for local roads plus servicing, warranty, and general customer service would be a bonus too. would like to hear from someone thats actually got a set of whiteline coilovers.

You are not comparing apples with apples.

The full Whiteline kits has upgraded stabiliser bars, a set of Tein coil overs doesn't. It is simply 4 shocks and 4 springs.

The full Whiteline kits has adjustable bushes for camber and caster, a set of Tein coil overs doesn't. It is simply 4 shocks and 4 springs.

The full Whiteline kits has Bilstein shock absorbers and Whiteline springs, designed, rated and valved for pot holed, bumpy, rough Australian roads. A set of Tein coil overs are designed for Japanese billiard table roads.

There is no comparison, a Skyline with a full Whiteline kit will wipe the floor with the same car fitted with 4 Jap springs and coils.:(

Amen to that. Melbourne roads are terrible.

Aside from everything else the Bilstiens can be repaired or rebuilt unlike the TEIN which if you break it you need to buy a new set.

And like Sydneykid said only 4 springs and 4 coils.

No comparo.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
