Helpful suspenson joints in sydney west

Post by rockcrawler31 »

I need to get new coils for the front of the cruiser, possibly custom ones. But if i'm going to get it right, i really need to find somewhere i can bang in some coils that i "think" might be right but then ramp it and test it and maybe swap them out for harder or softer coils. For example i might try a set of 5" coils but if they're too hard i might have to go an extra inch free height with a softer rate.

Does any one know of any spring or suspension places in sydney's west (preferably penrith) that are friendly and have the facilities to ramp the truck after trying out the coils, or are at least happy to let me have the coils for a few hours so i can test them and bring them back if they're not right?

They are a 4wd shop
primarily they are a 4x4 mechanic but do also sell most things. Just got to order them in.

Cool familybus. I'm guessing that if they don't have the right ones there then at least i can get close and have the appropriate ones made up.
