thanks that helps heaps, can u guys think of any other brands of coilovers that have service support in australia?
What about buddyclub? i see they got dealers in aus but there all in vic and nsw, im up in SE queensland.
Has anyone had any experiance with whitelines group 4 coilovers, there expensive at $2800 but i dont mind paying for quality.
Heres what they say:
"But if you're looking for real road performance get excited about our all new Group 4 shocks. These are height and rate adjustable with no need for yearly maintenance (unlike others) that's right, maintenance free.
Specifically designed for performance road use, the high pressure mono-tube design utilises a class leading 46mm piston. Our unique top mounted composite bump and rebound rate adjuster changes only what you need while height adjustment doesn't require multiple C spanners. No need to lie under the car with a torch to adjust the rate, just lift the bonnet and adjust as required. Non-inverted mono tube design also means no stiction and noise problems like other road/rally hybrids.
Careful attention to spring and damper base rates makes them ideal for serious road and race use right up to slicks and weekend race sprints. Designed as part of the Whiteline system to mix and match with our range of swaybars, alignment aids and chassis bracing.
You can have it all... if you're serious.
Whiteline Group 4's are leading the field in tarmac rally and club motorsport:
1st outright team and driver 2004 Dutton Rally NSW - Whiteline Project EVO VIII
3rd outright team and driver 2004 Dutton Rally Vic - Whiteline Project EVO VIII
2nd outright team and driver 2004 East Coast Targa - Whiteline Project EVO VIII
1st outright team and driver 2005 Dutton Rally Qld - Whiteline Project EVO VIII
2nd outright team 2005 Dutton Rally Qld - Impreza STi 04 driven by Shane Topping"
Being supposedly maintenance free, im shur theyd help with the extra cost aswell.
i like the fact that the shock bump and rebound can also be seperatly adjusted (i used to race R/C cars and the part i loved most was tweeking the cars sussy setup, which was completly adjustable. toe, camber, shock stiffness, interchangable springs & swaybars etc.)
However im even more keen to find a set that has seperate height and preload adjustment. i believe tein flex has this feature, how do they rate for trackwork? anyone have idea of spring rates?, cant seem to find them on the net for a civic ek4 hatch, herd these maby illegal in australia?
Im also looking at maby buddyclub racing spec damper, which are supposedly street - circuit, between the n+ and the track only coilovers. however they dont seem to have seperate height and preload adjustment, and im unshur of weather these can be serviced up here.
Anyone kno of any other good quality coilovers - more orientated towards track work, that has seperate height and preload adjstability, and can be serviced in aust.
