    Not sure about a good place in Sydney for decent prices, but try give @gslrallysport a call for a quote as they are one of our site vendors. Popular choice for shocks and spring combo seems to be Bilstein B8 with Eibach Pro Kit.

    gsl was great!! i brought B8 from them for a good price, quick postage and great advice.
    Im using King springs.... i feel that they maybe a bit stiff for my liking..
    Has anyone experienced the difference between Eibach and Kings?

    Are the B8's adjustable?

    Nope
    Shock and spring combos aren't adjustable
    Can vary height slightly by using different springs, that's it

    From stock, to GT3071, to substantially less modded, many lessons learned!

    I'm stuck with a hard decision on B8 + H&R springs or H&R coilovers. Let's say around $400-$500 difference in price between the 2 choices..

    I run b8s and h&r.. ride is firm but comfy. coilovers are almost always more harsh then a decent shock/spring combo. If you want adjustability = coils. If you want a comfy ride = b8s + springs.
    if i had my time again i wouldve got coils. I like having my car slammed or able to be slammed and I cant do that with my setup.

    I know that the shocks and springs will be more comfy, the adjustability on the coils is also a plus too.. Spending that extra $400-$500 can actually go to something else though.. Tough choice for me hehe..
