Elusivity Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Obviously SK's kits are long long gone, but from everything I've read they're awesome, which leaves me wondering... Anyone have any suggested alternatives to SK's kits or perhaps a dealer who'd be able to knock together something similar for a decent price? Cheers!

Duncan Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 the sydneykid kits were excellent. I am still running one in my race car 5 years later, and have a kit in the stagea too. It was nice to have someone on the internet who actually had been there and done that, and was willing to share the knowledge. pm sent Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/359898-alternatives-to-the-old-sk-kits/#findComment-5747071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checkbuzz Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Most of the kit was sourced from Whiteline Australia and is still available, SK's thread even gives you the part numbers FFS! You'll just need to get yourselves some half decent coilovers... BC coil overs are good bang-for-buck if you are on a buget. Seriously how hard is it to work out for yourself?

Nee-san Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I thought the bilstein shock was part of the kit though ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/359898-alternatives-to-the-old-sk-kits/#findComment-5751417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
conan7772 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) I thought the bilstein shock was part of the kit though ? You're right. I have the sports kit. It's not coil overs. SK also bundled full race kits. Sports Kit : Springs , sway bars and bushes are Whiteline. Springs are 25 % stiffer than stock but Whiteline don't make them any more. Shocks are matched Bilsteins. SK told me I could convert to full race by fitting coil overs and keeping the Bilsteins. But I'm happy with where it is. SK certainly got it right. Awesome ride for Aussie roads.

PM-R33 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Bar the shocks and springs everything else can be purchased by yourself through any store.

Mr. Untouchable Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'm going to ditch my tein pogo sticks for a bilstein setup soon. Elite racing developments or ERD do 'kits', last time i checked they did a bilstein shock with extra circlip grooves for hight adjustment with custom king springs i think. was well priced a year or so ago, give them a try. for camber arms front, rear, traction rods and castor rods, Just jap has it, along with other good stores and sway bars are easy to get hold of, ebay etc Unique autosports has a lot also, bushings for the diff etc, all kinds of goodies. cheers, Jack Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/359898-alternatives-to-the-old-sk-kits/#findComment-5754196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nee-san Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Any idea's on a good adjustable damper and coil to go with the kit ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/359898-alternatives-to-the-old-sk-kits/#findComment-5754694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinks Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 re springs I read on here that the king springs have similar rates to the whitelines. king springs, bilsteins, suspension bushes. so just source it yourself, it's not hard. heck i did it and i'm lazy 100x better to drive after doing those simple items.
