Suspension parts advice

Hi there,

Just seeing if anyone has some advice re where to find suspension components in Sydney for SW20s?

I'll be pulling my suspension out in a while and likely putting in new progressive springs, testing the shocks etc

I'm finding it difficult to find common parts such as strut tops, dust boots, bushings etc

While I've found some, for instance supercheap supply super pro bushings and Repco may have bump stops I thought I would get advice from people who have been down this path for good options on where to find bits?

Thanks

    Be aware that with bumpstops on lowered springs it is important to be sure you still have some bump travel. Early model SW20 bumpstops/dust boots are higher than post '92 ones.
     
    For aftermarket poly bushings and bumpstops try suspension places.
     
    But if you want to use genuine Toyota OEM parts, first obtain the right Toyota part mumber for your model.
    One site with pics:

    Here's another site without pics for a double check.

    When you have the correct part number, then simply search the world for it for the lowest price.
     
    Suppliers I would recommend:

    Yeah good point re the bump stops. I've got a set of what I think are progressive rate springs (judging by coil design) and I think there will be some 'dead coils' so I'm interested to see how they go.

    I was thinking about it and surely bump stops/dust boots are somewhat universal?

    Thanks for the links

    Buy what ever coilovers you want, and buy the bush kit and the tierod/ballpoint kit from twosrus.

    No point buying shtty Megan racing stuff using pillowball joints.
