Hi,

Just wondering if someone could point me the right direction as to where i can get Bilstein suspension within country NSW? I have been reading majority of the post on suspension and these sound the best. Any help would be great.

Re: Where to get Bilstein suspension

the only 2 place i know to get bilsteins are climax suspension in newcastle and autocraft in geelong in vic, best bet is grab the local yellowpages and give a ring around. cheers samo

Online you can try:

They were very good to deal with. Just get someone to fit the springs/shocks then.

Re: Where to get Bilstein suspension

Our local Opposite Lock store sells it so check with one in your area. Anyone who sells Ridepro suspension will sell Bilstein as they have the same rep/wholesaler (in QLD atleast anyway), it may be a case of asking some local stores and if they can get it in, in your area as its not that popular with the bigger more popular trucks (ie. Cruiser/Patrol) so stores don't tend to stock it.

Supercheap Auto list them on their website in the parts guide section. Haven't had a chance to go in store and see if they can get them in.

Supercheap Bilstein appear to cost $1276 for a set of 4, for a 120 series Prado,
4x4Direct cost $959 for a set of 4...
BushSkinz have a special for these at present, cost $855 !

Bit of a difference!

Are there any overseas online stores that sell the Oz spec Bilsteins? I haven't come across any yet.

Shame that I am boycotting supercheap for their latest CARMA advertising campains.
suspension stuff online shows them for $990 with free shipping.

I rang BushSkinz and enquired about that price and he said that the pricing to suit the 120 Prado will be a bit different. He's currently out of the office to check actual pricing but he promised to get back to me.

Kieron has pinged me via another forum as he doesn't have an account here

His email contact is [email protected]

The $855 is for a set for a Pajero, the equivalent for a 120 Prado is $950 delivered

I am passing on his message, my relationship is a happy customer who has purchased bash plates for my vehicle and have multiple friends who have purchased the same and suspension components

Re: Where to get Bilstein suspension

I have just moved up to Darwin, and want to upgrade my suspension to bilsteins and king spring lift.
Does anyone know where a good place in Darwin to get them and install them??

Re: Where to get Bilstein suspension

Hi guys, thought i would give you an update. i found a bloke in town to get and fit bilstien with king springs for me. only had a short drive home but it makes my truck a completely different drive. love it. thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

FYI
front measures
before 735
now 810

rear measures
before 745
now 810 (full with fuel)

cheers

Re: Where to get Bilstein suspension

good news, but I would have thought that its important to have the front lower than the rear, ie you need a bit of rake.
exactly what kings did you get fitted?
