How Much To Fit Sub Frame Bushes (pineapples)?

[JCMarshall_Law]

Gave Fulcrum at Stafford (in QLD) a call and they quoted me $158 supplied and fitted for a set of subframe bushes (pineapples) set up for maximum traction.

Does that sound right?

The guy said the bushes were polyurethane and pretty much the same as the whiteline ones but they are only $80 per set.

I called Fulcrum at Moorooka and they quoted $295!!! for the same thing, mercuary motorsport quoted $345!!!

None of the prices include a wheel allignment.

As a side note: does being setup for "maximum traction" translate to being setup for "maximum anti-squat"? I thought I read that somewhere on this forum - I think in a post by SK, can anyone confirm that?

Last question: how long should it take a suspension shop to fit one of GTRgeoff's HICAS lock bars?

$158 for whiteline sounds good given the bushes retail for $120, but if his are $80 he is jacking the price.

You won't really need an alignment.

Max traction is max squat (not anti squat).

Half an hour for the HICAS fit on the GTSt. I can do it that quick, they have hoists etc so have almost no excuse for it taking longer.

Sounds pretty good. It's only about a half-hour job (even taking your time). From memory, the "maximum traction" setup is the simplest to install.

NFI about Geoff's HICAS bars though (I must be one of the few Skyline owners who doesn't have a problem with HICAS!)

Super Pro (by Fulcrum) make the Whiteline ones...

Oh and $345 from MM does not sound right at they have the Whiteline pineapples for $115 supplied...fitting can't be more than half an hour...

Then take my word for it Greg

Also on AWD it doesn't intrude until you are pushing a fair amount of power or like me have really crap rubber (Ziex). You must get for a spin in a powerful RWD Skyline with HICAS.

Thanks guys, just the info I was after.

Max squat, I thought this was for max traction for drag (straight line acceleration) - Same thing for circuit work???

I'm looking for max traction for the track (NOT drift) - max squat still right?.
