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!

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.

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?

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.

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

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 :P 100x better to drive after doing those simple items.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
