    Hi guys,

    Yeah I was contemplating, but Im not going track and really don't like the harshness of coilovers for a DD.. That and I would be too tempted to stuff around with the dampening every 5 minutes

    I enquired a little while ago at shox.com regarding freight for Koni yellows and they said around $159 from USA. I ended up going with another option myself (Bilstein) but it might be cheaper than local prices?

    I must say with my Bilsteins with Corksport lowering springs rides at least as plush as stock with the added bonus that they track/grip the road way better. I'd highly recommend my combo. Couldn't be happier tbh.

    I'd be happy with a set of b8s or koni yellows and eibach springs/kings whatever. Is there really a big difference with springs if you have a good set of shocks? I had a look on shox but they don't seem to list part numbers so I can't see if they're b8s or koni yellows for the speed 6.

    If you email them regarding what you want they'll send you a quote number from memory. I didn't order mine through them but they seem good for customer service.

    I got the springs direct from eibach, seemed to work out about the same as from ordering overseas with shipping, was around $400 shipped.
    Shocks I will most likely pick up from GSL.. Just over 1k shipped, may be different for the gen2.
    If ordering from overseas, chepeast place for shocks was around $850 shipped from FR&RT tuning in UK, but I wanted all my warranties in aus for convenience.

    OIC, yeh,seems pricing is pretty general then. Was Quoted $380 from wholesale suspension for the Eibach's. $1100 from Bilstein/Heasman for shocks.

    @SP23HO was that $1100 for the bilsteins alone? Where are you located. If your in sydney give pedders moorebank a go. Been there last two days and daniel the service manager there has been nothing but ultra helpful. Had problems with fron endlinks clunking when first installed...went back today and swapped them over to the stock ones free of charge. I also asked about getting bilstein b8 shocks he said around $1200 i think supplied and installed. Thats what i heard him say. Not a bad price id say

    Yeh, Bilsteins were quoted for parts only.

    Price seems pretty good with pedders then!
