hi guys, i've gone around canberra getting quotes for koni yellows and pro kits springs pretty much the best offer i've found is 1900 for parts, installation and wheel alignment. does anyone know where i can get this done cheaper, i've read that people have got it done for heaps less, can anyone recommend a place even if its out of state probably syd or maybe vic
thanks

Advantage Suspension in Melbourne

Nathan is the mofo in charge.

He does a lot of koni stuff.

Price sounds a little high but maybe that is the current going rate.

Start at koni web site or ring them and ask for 5 of their resellers and get quotes off each of them.

20 minutes on the phone and you will have your answer.

installation at a workshop is about $200...i can do it for half that price tho :)

Full wheel alignment after is about $80. Sounds like the quote you got is abit too much.

i forgot to add this comes with warranty on parts or should i not even really bother, also i've got to consider whether coilovers are for me, the thought of having is cool, but as i'm not particulary familiar with them(wouldn't have a clue on how to adjust them and don't really think i be would tinkering around with most of the time anyway) and don't really have the prospect of tracking that much or at all the only real thing i like about them is the external height adj. but again its never too late to learn
