Anyone recommend a place in Sydney to fit a new set of coilovers? I would prefer a place that has done work on r35's and who can do corner weighting and alignment in-house. Public transport nearby would be a bonus too.

thoughts?

hey mate give Luke a call at Wholesale suspension in Penrith. They have done some work on r35's before and and a heap of work on my 32 GTR.

Top guys that know their stuff.

129 Coreen Avenue, Penrith NSW 2750

P: 4721 2112

thanks for the response. yep WSP are good (they have actually worked on my car before) i am actually waiting on Luke to get back to me on a quote. However they are 60km away from my place so not ideal (i have actually gone therte just for an alignment... three times!) They are good guys.

Duncan, if you come to Bathurst David Wall could dial them in for you.

What brand did you buy Duncan?

My car is currently in Wodonga 600 kilometres from home having a set of 3 way DMS built for the GTR. They better be good as I am a loud mouth and will let everyone know if they are good or bad.

The problem with the handling appears to have been the rear LHS wheel which was totally incorrectly castered and cambered and 15mm lower, and causing the car to step out at speed.

Interestingly I paid a professional company $360 to do a 4 wheel camber/caster alignment set up and he never even noticed it.

I recently had Coilovers fitted and balanced to the EVO (by a separate and very large highly recommended company) and they placed nuts over the rubber washers with no steel washer to protect them, damaged the thread by using vice grips on the coilover threads and overtightened the bolts bending the steel washers. $550 they charged thank you and this setup cost more than $550 to fix.

I went with a JRZ variant. Will report on spring rates in about two weeks time.

Good you have the suspension issues sorted. Fwiw i had a 50mm DMS kit on my last car and it was pretty hard core!

I was very happy with Adrian Moore Suspension in Gladesville.

They fitted my SK group buy sports kit for under $450

That included new springs, shocks, all neoprene bushes, pineapples , front and rear Whiteline swaybars, and a full computer alignment.

I have R33.

I've used WSP too and am a satisfied customer through Luke and others there.

Closer to your home, I don't know what reputation or reasonability of pricing is at Bilstein/Heasman corner of Railway Rd & Princes Hwy Sydenham. Any feedback?

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
