Whiteline Suspension

Bain,

I have posted a few pics in another post on Rim sizes, but just for you.

The first one is with the King Springs, the second is with the Whiteline gear.

Good Sir... please go and buy some beefy brakes to fill out those rims!

For those of you wanting to know prices..

I rang Whiteline here in Melbourne.

Stage 4 (adjustable shocks + springs) kit is $2900

Control Springs - $169 a set (for 2)

Flatout Springs - $169 a set (for 2)

They are around $30 more a set than king springs, but im not sure on what rate they are..

$2900 for group 4's is that just for 2 or a set of 4 to do the whole car???

[IceMyButt]

For the whole set - then add some more $$ for fitting I would imagine.

hmmm.... ok just seems a little cheap for 4 coilovers what do people charge roughly for fitting??

Having all this equipment is no doubt a great idea but finding the correct settings for each car and driving conditions could be time consuming. What would be ideal is finding someone that has experience in the suspension setups for the BA and knowing what adjustments need to be made to get a car that handles well and is comfortable to drive at speed. My experience is some places that do do suspension work don't really have a passion for it and the adjustments that are made don't really work as well as they should.

$2900 cheap for coilovers.. Damn.

I can get a set for a 'other manufacturers vehicle' for $1700..

Benny,

Whiteline have done a truckload of research on the BA.. in particular the turbo.. if you dig around their website they even have footage of the T with one of their kits on it... all this leads me to think they know a bit about suspension for the BA...

I believe there was a lot of discussion on these forums some time ago... hit the good ol search button...

Cheers,

Miyagi

I had the Whiteline non-adjustable swaybars on my car but took them off and sold them as I felt it made the car ride a bit too harshly for me.

You can buy direct off Whiteline, they were actually cheaper (even factoring in freight) than my local suspension shop.

Apparently with cheaper brands, they need to be serviced yearly?? I dont exactly what that involves but its what I've been told.....
