Hey guys

Just after some advice on suspension.

I've recently fitted Whiteline sway bars front and rear and noticed a difference in handling.

Now I'm looking at doing the shocks/spirings or putting coilovers in.

Being in NZ, my options are

BC Gold coilovers at $1500+$500 for cert

Tein Coilovers at $2500+$500 for cert

Blistein shocks at $1500+springs at $400or so.

Any advice would be appreciated

Have a look into Shockworks cli lovers mate

I did look at those after reading all the reviews on here and another Ford forum.

The only thing that puts me off them is the price.

If I was local, it wouldn't be an issue. But I'd have to pay customs/gst as well to bring them into NZ and then cert.

Would end up being closer to $3000 for them

Got some Tein coilovers for $1500 on special.

Should be fitted on Thursday, can't wait to see how it handles after that

That's a really good price! Where did you get them for that much?

Autolign in Petone, Wellington.

Ah OK, NZ. really good price. Enjoy!

Im running off the shelf king springs and bilsteins with whiteline front bar and nolathane bushes all round. If you live in QLD I'll take you for a drive, for a 1700kg family wagon its pretty impressive how well it handles. With cheap achillies front tyres I can pull over a 1g in cornering which is as good as most people get with r35's, and the car feels super nimble changing directions and turn-in.

read the 2 posts above yours

not sure if the dude will take up your offer unfortunately

Had the Teins fitted earlier today. Set them at 350mm, but can't get down my driveway now.

Going to have to raise it up tomorrow.

My rear shocks were absolutely rooted though, bushes had collapsed at one end.

Feels really good now, possibly bouncing around a bit too much though. Might need to harden the dampening up?

Have Whiteline sway bars fitted front and rear as well.
