Does anyone know where you can get an fto gpx suspension kit from?? Looks like i will have to replace the whole thing.....
for a reasonable price i should say...

Your replies will be much appreciated. Thank you!

whats wrong with your suspension? why do you have to replace the lot?

are you planning on getting rid of the car?

i reckon suspension is one of those things that youre better off spending a little bit more money and getting something reasonably good rather than just spending a little bit of money (which is still quite a bit) on something thats a patch up job and will have to be reassessed some time in the near future... with more capital outlay

Depends what you want to do with the car and whats wrong with it. Whiteline do different kits varying in price from kit to kit.

Yeh no its all good now thank heaps for those who replied. funny you should mention whiteline.. i called them and went on their website... the fto kits were the only items on their online shop that had no price! I called them up and apparantly they were 'experiencing a price increase' and the price would not be known for atleast a week.. not sure if its been adjusted now but still... ooo the frustration!
oh and they gave me a list of suppliers as well, perhaps i could have got a price through them... only they told me they cant supply me with suspension for my fto!!

That's because Whiteline has stopped selling kits direct to the public. They used to do so up until a few months ago.

no you can still buy stuff directly off their web store, not all products are on there though, but yeh the chick i spoke to on the phone said the only way to buy direct was through their web store.
some of the fto suspension parts prices are on there now, but not the handling pack, sports pack or works pack, which is what i was after prices for...

my fto is all good now, i love it!

Boyfriend fixed it... so i really dont know haha... but he has adjustable suspension for his supra and it only cost $1000 for front and back, i will get the website off him if because that is who i will be getting mine through when i eventually get around to it.. but it doesnt need to have anything done to it at the moment so i can spend my money on more important things.. like wheels and speakers!! Cant wait til i get my tax return lol!

There is decent looking stock GPvR suspension going on ebay atm for any one else that is interested.

$1000 front and rear sounds about right. My koni sports cost about that.
