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.

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
