Apparently the cheapest and best option is some company in qld. You just need to send them up there. Forgot there name tho .

[Weezy]

Car Torque in Kent Town will be able to do this for you, as far as I am awear they are authorised Tein dealers in SA too. By far your best option

[siba33]

awesome thanks heaps

Sorry to hijack but.

I have a pair of JIC Golds that started leaking not long after I bought them 2nd hand.

Are these possible to get new inserts?

[Krishy]

i would get in contact with Car Torque and see what they can do with it mate.....then you can either outweigh the cost of buying another second hand one or getting this rebuilt

[ISC-Performance]

Always budget for a rebuild when buying second hand coilovers...never no what your going to get.

As above, there is a place in qld that does rebuilds but can't think of the name right know. If I remember I will post it up.

Fat motorsport is a guy that works at pedders on marion rd Marion. I rebuilt my hks coilovers from one of his kits. He had plenty of tein gear. Try ringing pedders at marion.

hey man what do you think of ur tein HA's?? there the first set of coilovers iv owned and took a lil while to get used to the bouncy bumpy ride but now im loving them, got the damper settings on max and it goes prety hard round corners although the back end tends to come out sometimes

[beesh88]

hey guys I got the Hipermax HKS coilovers, adjustable and all. As I take off slowly from the light I could hear slow creaking in the back suspension, is that normal for coilovers or are mine on the way out?? Cheers

Yeah the tein HA's are pretty good, ive had 2 different sets since that post tho LOL (bit of a suspension whore )

Theyre really hard on dampers and spring rates are higher then most because the HA were meant for the jap market. Theyre basically exactly the same thing as Tein SS (Super Streets) with harder rates.

Thats pretty much what ive got in mine now HKS Hipermax II D. Theyre a f**ken awesome coilover... thats all i gotta say. With the creaking etc, hks are known to give up earlier than most brand coilovers, theyre built tough but are more bias towards track side of things so street driving can kill them off. With that said, theyre by far the most predictable coilover ive driven on.

Im in a bit of the same boat as you, my rear right is knocking and by the looks of things will be needing a rebuild soon, took it for a drive through hills last night and it seems to be working fine, just knocking. Might be pillow ball related though, haven't checked it out yet.

Anyone know if the pedders guy does hks coilies?

Sorry to dig up an old thread but its relevant.

Does "fat motorsport" still work at Pedders? And if not, does anyone have contact details for him? I would like to price the rebuild of two front HKS coilovers

Just ask for Jarod at pedders on marion rd down sth. He made me up a hks kit and I was able to rebuild them myself. just need a lathe
