Hey guys,

Just wondering if a quote of $1630 for koni shocks and king springs installed is a good price or not?

I'm in Perth if that helps with answering the question

Cheers,

Tim

sounds about right I paid $280 for heavry duty kings springs $1050 for bilstein shocks and $250 install all up $1580

but it pays to shop around some places are dreaming with the qoutes I got one place wanted over a $1000 bucks to install it I laughed at them

like on monday I was shopping around for sway bars pedders wanted $ 1900 bucks for two sway bars two lower ball joints and to replace the control arm bush incl parts

instead I bought the upper and lower ball joints from a ford centre in melbourne 120 bucks delivered ,control arm bushes front and rear from auto pro $200 bucks sway bars from the guy who makes them for heasman suspension in taren point 27mm front 22mm rear $390 bucks =$710 + install guy who done my shocks and springs said less then 500 not bad since the control bushes are a *beep* of a job = 1210 and im getting more work done done the scum bag from pedders was doing for $690 bucks less

cheers trev

Sounds like a good price for shocks and springs, and you'll notice a big improvement over the factory pogo sticks. You should do the front lower control arm bush's with Nolathane too if you can, it will really sharpen up the front end and give better stability under braking.

So what's the process for upgrading the suspension? Is it coilovers - springs - swaybars - ball joints - control arm bushes? Does it matter what order you do them in? I always knew about swaybars and springs, but am not to savvy on what the rest of it all does.

Thanks for the replies I might do a bit more shopping around before I go with that quote then

Cheers

if you are going with Kings go with the 520/310 spring rates at least.

Yeah I was going to go for the heavier spring rates anyway
