Not sure where abouts you are in Oz.... so give(Click on the links...)Wholesale Suspension or Heasmans Steering And Sydney Shocks a call.

They are not locked down to any manufacturer and will even custom build something for you.... otherwise Pedders XA stuff is good, but I'm over Pedders stuff.

yea i would like bilstein shocks and matched lowered springs but im worried bout wheel clearance so thats why i was thinkin coilovers

out of interest why are you over pedders?
over priced?

Cause the money you fork out is not worth the quality you get... when you can spend a little more to get so much better quality gear.(This is from experience/testing).

For me the clincher is the tactics employed and the ethics of the franchisers/owners/worker @ many of their stores.

yea fair enough
there seems to be a bit of info on the net indicating that their xa coilovers are rebadged bc racing ones which are $800 cheaper

so what have you found was the best mate?
thanks for your input btw
=)

Coilovers will never(EVER) give you a better ride.... so having said this it depends what you are trying to achieve?

lowered height for daily driving
but most likely go air bags in the rear for towing
i was also worried bout wide wheel clearance with the strut thats why i was thinking coilover

if there was no good coilover i wouldve gone bilstein insert with weld on coilover sleeve as i have done this to a previous car

you have to be careful because a coil over coil sits lower on the strut body down past the tyre where a normal strut is above your tyre.

yea i was hoping that since it has a skinnier coil it shouldnt foul
fingers crossed lol

the od of the coil is aprox 85-90mm where the normal strut body is aprox 65-75mm.
