I'm not too big a fan of Bilstein shocks, I personally prefer Koni. Bilstein coilovers however get some excellent reviews. |

The circlip for the lower spring seat actually ripped out of the groove on one of the rear shocks. Having said that, I had custom springs and when we looked into a little further the coil may have binded and loaded it up, still though, shouldnt have happened. I've mentioned this before, but for the cost and pure comfort, and adjustability, I just cant fault these http://www.apcoilovers.com/ap_coilov.../1_series.html I had them in my Hsv Vxr, the kit arrived and didnt quite lower the rear enough. I had King Springs reset the rear springs and off I went, they rode almost standard, and it was low believe me, but they were superb! Pic below, sorry bout the size Last edited by One_M; 03-24-2011 at 07:55 PM.. |

hey guys thanks for all your help so far! its made choosing quite tricky, i think i am going to probably go with the KW V2 set up.
I'm just waiting on confirmation on price from a shop here in brisbane he gave me their price spectrum $1759 - $2939 so i am assuming thats for V1 & V3 respectively and then $350 to fit.. which doesnt seem unreasonable (as much as i would love to do the install myself i am dead certain i would stuff it up) Maybe if there are a couple of people wanting to get the same thing we could arrange a lower price? Let me know if you're interested... I'll keep you all posted on how things turn out! I'm hoping to have all this done before June 4 so i can have something to show off at a BIG cruise my mate is putting together (dont like my chances though) |

Yeah when I priced them locally out of Sydney at the time I was looking at over $2200 for V1's, so the ppl your dealing with seem to be quite good on price. If you had tools, it isnt a difficult job to fit them, however, for $350, again, this is pretty reasonable too, and the hassle is all theirs then.

You will most likely get ripped to the tune of $300-$400 if you choose the airport option. Some have managed to avoid those charges by getting them sent directly to your door.

Do a search on importing wheels and you will find the thread on the subject. |
