If u r in Sydney, load up your car and take it to Ultimate Suspension. They will weigh individual corner weight and suggest the best setup for your requirement and budget.

Looks like most spring manufacturers are following a similar process of scraging and shot peening and steel diameter in there construction, shock absorbers are pretty close too with the big name brands following similar lines.

I did find it odd that only a couple talk about having to install a rear castor correction kit to eliminate a vibration which can occur around 30 to 40klm from changing the drive line angles but is an option to purchase and not actually part of the complete package?

And only supplier has mentioned that headlights, brake load and line adjustments and wheel alignment will have to be done also.

So a little more head scratching to be done before I put my hand in my pocket, looking like around costing around $1500 to $1800 plus install.

Shopping local, leaning toward a Climax Suspension kit comprising of King Springs and Bilstien Shocks, medium kit rated 0kg - 300kg with a 30mm to 40mm lift $1500 plus install and wheel alignment $500, also considering fitting air bags to assist with load carrying $300.
