Erko Donating Members 1,079 Member For: 21y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/02/08 07:48 AM Author Share Posted 26/02/08 07:48 AM Thanks for all the nice comments lads.Well today did some suspension work - Tein Performance Coilover KitWhiteline 30mm front swaySuperpro front lower inner control arm bushingsSuperpro rear bumpstopsHad the car cornerweighted by East Coast Suspension (mostly does Porsche / BMW race cars - even had Jim Richards old Targa car there today)and after dialling the heights came in with LEFT RIGHT FRONT 495 506REAR 393 390WET WEIGHT 1784KGwhich is pretty bloody good I reckon! Running 1.5deg neg camber front and rear, ride height down to 345/350 and 355/350 (left/right/front/rear).I wasnt going to go with the 30mm bar however after they test drove it suggested it needs it, these blokes do know what they are doing and as I am an old customer didnt charge to fit it. Anyway I am not convinced yet (however have not had a chance to really load it up - time will tell)One word on the Teins - Fantastic. Ride is as good if not BETTER than the 6000klm old R SPEC shocks taken out. For those that claim heavy spring rates = rough ride, do you self a favour and have a ride in a TEIN equipped Falcon.....then you wont need to embarrass yourself Still can't go past Work wheels for the ultimate tract weapon look! Did you consider TE37s Rob?Not really mate, I am not a huge fan beleive it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are an awesome bit of kit. Firm but still compliant and when you put the boot in it's just point and shoot. The kind of kit that makes me wish I had a manual instead of the 1/4 mile setup. That's it, I need another T.BTW, car looks sweet. The rims look very nice. Great choice I reckon.I am sure I could help you with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is in Melbourne I can thoroughly recommend Centerline Suspension at 72 Lipton Drive Thomastown. Call 03 9469 2914 and ask for Chris. The guys know there stuff and they also did me a really good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work, Rays, Enkei etc all have comparable wheels. if you have brembos though you will need to do some research. For the wheels I have in 18s expect to pay around 2100-2400 or so a set - NO TYRES.
