I was quoted $450-600 over the phone a few weeks before I went to Heasmans.

it was complicated ... heasmans were the ones putting in the extra grooves into the shocks so I took the car there because they had my shock, before the shocks got lost again. I waited for more than 2 months and was sort of in no situation to pick a place.

yeah i got ripped badly .. I think they quoted me $700-800 for supply and install of new springs too. ugh..

im very interested in getting the springs and a full set of shocks, because my car when i bought it came with looks like some blue springs that have lowered the rear 350mm but the front is 330mm, and hitting some bumps sounds like my whole car will fall apart. just wondering if they are available or not at the moment, as you stated before that you have short supply.

thanks.

OK I have everything now other than the shocks :-(

which is at least something but still, cant install till I get the whole thing.

H,i last time i called Superior Suspension a lady picked up and told me they only make sway bars now and are packing up there shop or warehouse. has anyone recived anything as of yet. i was told my stuff should all come a week before i left australia. its been a month now and im back in australia with nothing at my door. Can matt or gary please pm me asap

I have dealt with his guy (matt) through ebay.

Bought a total of: 2 sets of r32 bars, 3 sets of VY commodore bars, full set of commodore bushes plus double of the rear control arm inner bushes, as well as rear subframe and link pin bushes.

We are talking a total of $2050, and i am STILL waiting on the 2 sets of subframe bushes and 1 set of rear link pin bushes. I ordered and payed for all this late september.

I have a full set of HSV brakes to install on my VY, plus a rear cradle to install, and full front bushes, with my current brakes riding pretty low, and alot of my bushes well and truly f**ked.

I will try calling again, but last message i got from Matt was that he was in America for a month, and should be back ANY DAY NOW..... (he left mid october..)

I have also added an extra $1k of sales through referals, and yet am getting pretty sick and tired of things...

Ask to speak to Gary or Matt directly stating that you are chasing an existing order. They will be there.

I will try today, this being my final resolve at getting my suspension, i have already taken regretful steps to ensure i get my order and don’t lose everything, but this is seriously slack on behalf of gary and/or matt. updates should have been posted and all orders sent out before some lady on the phone tells you that the business is being taken over and you should leave a message on the answering machine never to receive a call back. I ask that as this group buy has been allowed to go on like this for months by the moderators and admins of this forum that SAU step in and take some kind of action to ensure peoples money does not just disappear as they are not small amounts that you could forget about.

yes I called today about the shocks and got the same treatment. Its like they are not working anymore which is very worrying. Again I was promised the shocks in "a few days" after I got the springs and swaybars (which I asked to be sent separately). It has been over a week now. I just want the shocks in any condition.

Ok, finally got onto Gary, Matt is back in melbourne, got back last friday.

he said there are 8 SAU group buy stuff waiting to be sent out, and that he will get Matt to contact me on monday in regards to my bushes.

This is becoming a joke really, but atleast i got onto him (through the number on page 15).

Ill keep u guys updated, maybe keep calling to pressure them into getting the stuff

Ok, i have been calling matt and gary once a day, and finally got onto matt today. Been talking to gary since friday, and today was d-day i called 3 times, lol

Anyway, looks like they are finalising the sau group stuff and my stuff should come soon. maybe give them a call to question them and put the pressure on.

I think they work on cars as well, so it makes it difficult for them to organise all of this as well as do suspension isntalls on cars.

Cheers

did anybody contact Gary or Matt lately? I've been trying to call them, but they never there.So I came to their place yesterday (friday) and found out they weren't there. I only met a guy named Ahmed, and he said he didn't know anything, he just a casual worker....

are they still working there? any info guys?

Cheers

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
