Hi all,
I picked up a 120 V6 the other day and am wanting to lift it but have some questions:
I'm willing to spend up to $2k to get a quality set up that's suited for my needs (which admittedly aren't that out of the ordinary). It currently has standard sized Bridgestone Dueller A/T's fitted and a front ARB Deluxe bar. I haven't fitted a winch yet, but do plan to.
It's main use will be short commutes (15kms round trip to work every day) during the week with 4x4'ing at the weekends, camping, beaches, tracks, etc. so still needs to have some on-road manners once new suspension is fitted, though I do have another car for running around/ city use.
From looking around online, people seem to be very happy with their Lovell/ Bilstein setups, same with Dobinson/ Bilsteins.
I called West Coast Suspension in Perth today enquiring about the cost for their Lovells/ Biltstein 2" lift and they quoted $2050 all fitted and aligned. How does this sound for pricing? Does anyone have any recommendations for other suspension specialists in the Perth area to go to?
I'm also wondering about different brands- ARB quoted around the same for their OME kits fitted, I read a few negative reviews about Old Man Emu, but i'm sure bad reviews exist for all popular brands. I also heard that EFS were good and and also Pedders. Any others to look at?
I can't see myself doing any other mods than adding a winch to the existing ARB Deluxe bar, so am unsure if I need to go with heavy duty front end suspension or not..
As I say, i'm willing to spend the cash to get a decent setup, so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
