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.

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.

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 :thumbsup:

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

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
