Bilstein/Dobinson Combo in Perth?

[ApatheticEnd Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ApatheticEnd]

I've tried searching but can't find a definetive answer. Who in Perth can supply and fit this suspension combo? Plenty of suspension shops carry Bilstein but i've not found any that advertise that the stock Dobinson springs as well. I want a drive in drive out solution. I'm time poor so not interested in fitting myself. I'm capable, but it's not worth $300 to me to spend a valuable Saturday faffing around under the truck.

Thanks fellas.

Another option is to order some online (4wd1, www.4wdsuspensions.com.au etc)
then take it to a workshop for fitting.

Got mine a few months back from Trekmaster in Brisbane and had em freighted to me in Cairns as no-one up here stocks them. Then handed the lot over to the mechanic I use when I break something too big/complicated for me to fix on my own. Wish I could have said id done em myself but on a 90 series u need to have it on a lift to force the control arms apart when fitting the struts.
Easiest way will be to order em online and have a local shop do the fitting for you.
Hope this helps.

I bought my Dobinsons from the Sydney factory and had them freighted to Adelaide. The Bilsteins came from 4wd Trekmaster. No one could beat his price, $860 including freight for the set. Then took it to the local Tyrepower who fitted it for $300.

What spring options can you get from the shops that carry Bilsteins? They might be similar enough to the Dobinsons. Maybe Kings or Lovells?

I know it doesn't answer your whole question, but I used Zordo for supply.
For that exact combination. I still found his price best, even including freight from brisbane to Melbourne.

As far as fitting goes, surely most wheel and tryre type places would fit it?

Brilliant fellas thanks. I'll give them both a ring and price them up.

I'll still consider buy online get them fitted but the savings will have to be significant.

Cheers

General question, what make the dobinsons special?

After reading, reading, and more reading, they seem to have the right length and rate to get the ride and height I'm after with my rig and acessories without sagging problems I've seen and read about like other brands.

Some may say they are all the same but even if that's true, I should be able to have what I want.

Good to know. My lovells have sagged and I would like to prop it back up a bit so would look at a pair myself. Is your car a 150?

I have had work done by Malaga suspension only once the next time I needed suspension work done I went to Wilkinson and continued with Wilkinson

The dobbos c59-325 is a much softer ride than the king say ktrr102
Also it's longer.
That's why I recommend dobbos for prados.
C59-302 for the front
