Good workshop

http://www.tractiontyres.com.au/

Although suspension swap is easy as. Its just a couple of bolts. A couple in the engine bay/boot and then 1 bolt at the bottom of the coilover.

Crack them all off, pull out, slide in new suspension and bolt everything back on.

thanks guys~~btw how much $$$$$ am i going to spend,just want have an idea,and dont want to be raped :blink:

I think traction tyres wants about $200 for suspension swap?

Any import mechanic can swap suspension its only a couple of bolts. Find an import mechanic and I reckon they could do it for much cheaper as its only an hours work on a hoist.

Just make sure you do a wheel alignment which will set you back another $100?

Don't be lazy, just go for a drive :D

Good thing about it, is that you can feel how much better your new suspension will be, you have 40km's to test it :(

A point to remember - platform-adjustable coilovers don't just adjust the ride height, they also adjust the weight balance to the 4 corners of the car. And having the good weight balance is what makes for good handling.

called traction tyre and also went to center line have a !(*&^#$@(*^ with chirs.now i may need a set another set of spring :) . coz those springs wiht the coilovers are tooooooooo stiff(he reckon its like 10kg. good for drifting?) so now add up all cost = a tein superstreet which is brand new. should i get rid off it and buy a super street?or just change the spring,btw the coilover i have now is cusco,but made by KYB. any suggesion guys. im lost :O

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
