Suspension Recommendations

[Nizmo]

I know theres been a thread about this somewhere but darned if i can find it - so im here to pester you all again.

Need some recommendations on a good suspension place in preferably Osborne Park that knows what they are doing with lowered R33's!

Wanna start ringing around today but need a starting point!

Thanks Lauren

Well don't quote me on this one and some of the other guys may be able to give better recommendations but when I was looking for suspension on my VL Turbo I went to W.A Suspensions in Osbourne Park.... They seemed to know what they were talking about and had a wide variety of cars in the workshop at the time... From your family car, to supra's and such , to a dragster and even a cop car...

Don't know how they rate in pricing our the brands they stock these days though...

Hey Niz,

Wa suspension is doing my suspension as we speak, a good friend of mine Rob works there and he has been so helpful so they definately deserve a fre plug, oh and also C-red came to the rescue aswell! thanks Jash!

C-red is a bit out of the ossie park area but i do recall Jash saying he can get some sweet coilovers, i have borrowed some nice HKS coilovers at the moment from him, maybe give him a buzz and see how much he will sell a set of em to ya for, do ya puupy eyes thing Niz, Jash will love it I am sure....:uh-huh: :bahaha:

[Nizmo]

heard wilkinson were good also heard they were expensive. Anyway thanks for giving me a starting point

Niz,

I wouldn't recommend coil-overs for you, they are a very harsh ride. You can improve suspension and handling without loosing the comfy ride.

I think Mr Squiggle on these forums has just had a HEAP of suspension work done .... might be worth sending him a PM

I did a lot of calling around when it came time to fitting my koni shocks to my s14.

Most expensive was WA suspensions be far - they were double the price of anyone else...I am not exaggerating either.

Wilkinsons and C-red were the same price, actually, I think C-red were a little cheaper. I ended up getting C-Red to fit the gear and I am happy with the job they did. If I was getting an alignment done, I would probably go to Wilkinsons.

Wheelsworld are good too I have heard, John always has time to sit down and explain everything about what you need to you in very plain terms.

Precise Suspensions & Automotive are in Wangara and I think they do some of the import shops in that area so they may be another alternative.

Wilkinsons are very good...the best IMHO.

Don't know where you heard they were expensive as that definitely is not the case.

Peter knows what works and what doesn't and will not sell you something you don't need unless of course you want it.

For example he did some minor tweeks to my Rex and it placed 12th outright at MC motorsport...only hi po cars on "race rubber" beat me so he knows his stuff.

Cheers

Hmmm these guys arent bad.... The dealer I bought my R33 from uses them and I have had my car serviced there a couple of times... never used them for suspension work though...

[Nizmo]

Wangaras a little for. Want somewhere i can drop it off catch a taxi to work and not have it cost me a fortune. But bayswaters good i might get my folks to drop it off - its near them.

[MrGTST]

If the timing is right I may be able to give you a lift to work if you are dropping the car off in Osbourne Park.... It may save you a bit in Taxi fare...

[C-Red]

Niz,

I'm sure the boys will be fighting amongst each other to drop you off wherever you need to go...

We have alignment equipment and Greg is a master at setup, he's also good at wheel alignments.

Jash

[Nizmo]

need suspension done haha but will need wheel alignment after Jash probably get it all done at the one place. Hows your suspension stocks looking at the moment?

Wilkinsons Bilensteins are 2 1/2 weeks away which if im going to MC's with some of the boys are not close enough so I'll try WA Suspensions.

[C-Red]

Depends whether you want coilovers or Spring/Strut combination.

We've got new Coilovers in stock, as well as new Springs. We generally get Konis in if you need Struts.

Jash

PS Mail me OL for special pricing...

[Nizmo]
