Sydney Northern Beaches suspension installation - recommended installers

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

Hi all, just picked up a set of Kings spring and Bilstein struts for my 150. Can anyone out there recommend a good or reputable installer in Sydney’s northern beaches?

Regarding alignment, is there different levels of alignments, if so what is required with a lift installation?

Cheers,
Dakrol

Hi Dakrol

I am also located on the Northern Beaches... Havnt got the cash for a lift yet but i would definitely travel to Mannell Motors for the work, the gentlemen there was so helpful with any questions I had and he quoted a bullbar for me hundreds of $$ cheaper than our local 4x4 shop without me even arguing or mentioning another price.

Just my 2cents

thanks all, checked them out on-line and looks good.

Is it possible to perform a 4 wheel alignment, or given it's a fixed real axle is that not an option and it's front wheel alignment only?

Front alignment only required.

I previously used opposite lock before they were purchased by good spanner on harbord rd. I have used good spanner for tyres numerous times for both my HSV and prado and have nothing but glowing feedback for them. Given they now run the opposite lock brand on the northern beaches I'd be speaking to them as they have a fully licensed mechanics workshop for these sort of activities.

been calling around and most places are quoting $580 - $620 with wheel alignment where as I tried calling ARB Artarmon and they quoted $410 inc alignment.

ARB is typically not a place I'd associate with "cheaper" pricing over the others. I'm afraid they're going to try a surprise me with "extras" when it comes time to cough up the cash.

what is an expected or normal cost for installing a suspension including alignment?
