Just thought I'd pass this along, whiteline (I work for them but you should
know that by now) is having a suspension clinic at wakefield park on
12/3/2002. The cost is $150, plus $27.50 for a wakefield license (valid for
one year).
Included are expert advice on your suspension, 2 (morning/afternoon) one and
a half hour track sessions, rides in whiteline project cars (including a
500+hp VL circuit monster).
Full details are available at http://www.whiteline.com.au/whatsnew.htm or

Damn, I am in VIC
So, when we want to upgrade the suspenders on our Gems we can come to you?
Question: How much for a kit and kaboodle suspension setup?
Springs, Shocks, Adjustable swaybars, Adjustable panhard, strut tower brace. Anything else needed?
All this for an 82 TF. Low as she goes but legal in VIC.
Cheers |

Another question, where abouts is it that you work? I've been looking for a whiteline dealer in the brisbane area(not very hard I'll admit)
Thanks

Hello Phil,
I work from home ('cos I'm lazy), a number of places in brisbane carry our stock, including (but definitely not limited to) our 'whiteline preferred distributors' see http://www.whiteline.com.au/dealers.htm
or just order the bits from the webstore like I always have (since before I worked there) at www.whiteline.com.au/store |

Awesome thanks Adam,
The reason why I'm looking is because I was chasing my mates gemmy around some backstreets in deagon the other day, I took a corner a bit fast and got a fair bit of understeer. Almost hit a gutter but managed to stab the clutch and get the back to slide a bit more to straighten up. Scared the shit out of me and even more out of the guy in the passenger seat, who saw the gutter and a street sign whiz past his window. He doesnt like riding with me anymore. |

Which bits? I know we had a problem with our strut braces, easily fixed, we f#@ked off having them made in taiwan and made them in Australia... to quote another suspension tuner (not whiteline staff), all taiwanese bits are just cockroach shit and glitter.
I haven't had any complaints at all re: qual. control so we can't be doing too bad. |

As some of you might know I have been racing Geminis for about 8 years now and I had a bad run with whitelines springs about 3 years ago. I ordered a spring of a certain free height and poundage and it took 3 goes at getting it right. Even at the end the free heights of both springs where 5 mm differance. 5mm is nothong to worry about in a road car but makes a big differance to corner weights of a race car. I also had a smaller issue with their blades (adjustable swaybar)on lowered cars. We now make our own swaybars and only used King Springs... Michael |
