Suspension/handling Specialists....

[J-Boy]

Hi..i'm wondering if anyone can recommend workshops and mechanics who know their stuff on fitting and setting suspension and handling setups, i.e coilovers, camber,castor, toe fitting and settings, for skylines?

Anywhere within about 30kms of brisbane.

Any info will be greatly appreciated~

Thanx~~

Mercury give discounts to SAU members (another reason to join) another option to get a comparison is Option 1 Garage

If/when I go to do suspension, I'd be more inclined to go to Fulcrum suspension rather than a mechanics?

Just my opinion.

i won't be using mercury again for any of my work, but each to their own. However, if you do use them, get someone independant to check after they're finished

I use Shaun at Goodyear Strathpine... great guy and pretty switched on, does top work etc.. he races an Evo in some form of rally so he know a bit about what he's talking about They're also a Fulcrum Queensland dealer.

Paul from Fulcrum @ Capalaba

if you want a full car scaling, balancing and wheel alignment, go Chapmans & Chapmans.

I am with glenn on that one chapman & chapman are the best ones that come to mind, also fulcrum is not a bad idea just find them a little on the priciey side FULCRUM WEB PAGE

Thanx people fer all the info...fulcrum? do they do tests on used coilovers? im basically getting a set of used coilovers and wanna run a test on their usability, and also if there is any leakage and other problems before buying and installing them at the same time. Will these tests be expensive if they are available?

they have a shock dyno at their marooka store... they said it would cost me between $50 and $75 per shock to get mine tested

i got a full coil over package from fulcrum and they are excellent

shane and warwick at moorooka store are legends

Murcury are not suspension specalists, they get all their alligment / set up work done down the road at fulcurm, they are quite happy to fit suspension parts though. In my opinion it would be better just to go to fulcurm in the first place.

Accurate suspension. Timms court

They seem to do good work, just I think you need to say I want this. Not ask them what you need.

Other than that try and track down Scotty, I think hes over redlands way now.

Wheres the nearest Fulcrum shop i can find near bris metro? or the one at capalaba? what road is it on?

[Genesis®]

your answer = www.fulcrumsuspensions.com.au + www.whereis.com.au + phonecall

ask for Paul if you are going to Capalaba. It will cost you about $80 and 1hr give or take in the waiting room

Actually they go to quickfit on enoggera road (the one next to the mobil).

Or how about www.shockreco.com.au. They can rebuild anything. I had my standard struts rebuilt 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with their work.

Not since Scotty left, I wouldnt go back there.

Not knocking their work, but hold on to that reciept, and check those shocks on the 29th day after the work was compleated. Rebuilt coilovers apparently only have a 30day warrenty.
