man you always keep saying bilstein eibach. I have koni/eibach (1.5 turns all round) and I must say that the Tein SS rides better. I have been in kitbkk's car a couple of times and he also set the dampers to max.

For damping comfort, Bilstein > Koni. Of course, the Konis can be set stiffer than the Bilsteins.
Went to a local place in canberra. Wanted $2200 approx to fit eibach and bilstein!
I can get tein ss for $1300 plus fitting.
Can anyone point me to a website or the like where i can get a quote on parts for the eibach springs and bilstein or koni equivalents? I might just order them and get them fitted here.
PM me if you can.
Im hoping the ride will be ok on this spring combination. Im also thinking i wont need a camber kit with the eibachs?
I went to the modded XR5 Turbo with Mods - the dark side.....BOOOOST!
there is no way eibach + bilstein would cost 2200. eibach springs are 500, even my konis were 1000. could a set of shocks cost $1500? You better off go with the Tein SS and use the $900 on something else. As for camber kit, you might need them since I had -3.5 camber before putting them on. -3.5 is not good for your tyres.

Mmm.My Bilsteins cost a bit over $1000,Eibachs cost $500,fitting,alignment(4 wheel)$240.I then needed a rear camber kit,$300 fitted.Tein SS for $1300+fitting sounds good,depending on drop you may need a camber kit with this setup.for Bilsteins call Heasmans at Marrickville.They're the importers.
Got another quote (pedders) : Eibach pro springs plus Koni yellow adjustable $2400 fitted and aligned. Bugger. Might have to go Tein SS. Much cheaper.
That's crap.Too much$$$ http://www.gtsuspension.com.au/css/street.php try this site they're in Vic.they do free shipping over certain $$ value.Get on the net,make a few ph.calls,you'll get cheaper than that.good luck.
Any issues with the Grey Import Tein SS compared to the aust delivered ones?
Nope, at least not until you have to get the dampers rebuilt locally. Then the distributor might not rebuild your grey import SS for you even if you are willing to pay double of what they usually charge. So call up Fulcrum and find out if they are willing to service it.
