Has anybody had experience with WA Suspensions and in particular their own brand of heavy duty shocks. I'm looking at purchasing a vehicle which has had a
suspension lift performed by them including their own brand of heavy duty shocks. I think they are pretty reputable but interested to know if anyone has any experience.
Thanks for any info

dont know anything about wa suspensions , but be aware that any vehicle that has been lifted 50 mm above standard must now be swerve tested to meet road worthy condition & compliance.
This can have a big impact on insuring the vehilce, so it might be worth checking into this isue with the authorities & the seller

I lived in
perth for 33 years and only heard good things about this mob.
I had a set of their H/D springs put in the rear of a sagging VR statesman some years back and would say it was the best money I ever spent on it.
If you have any concerns, I would say speak to them directly. they'll set you straight i'm sure.
good luck

Had a mate leave my place just before I logged on, has had a set of shocks and a steering damper done by them A couple of weeks ago. He is very happy about the shocks but thinks the steering damper is a bit soft.

I dealt with both the Osborne Park &
Fremantle outlets about a month ago as I needed some work done to pass my NSW rego.
I ended up using the Freo store as it was nearer and couldn't speak highly enough of the service.
I drive a Triton 4x4 and was looking at getting a
suspension lift since I was replacing all of my shocks anyway. The owner talked me out of it in my case because I would only get a small lift at the front anyway, he could have gone the other way and got an extra $700 from me.
They were quick friendly and as shown honest. I know this doesn't answer your question but may help.

cookie, just replaced orig coils on '92 Mav with Lovell coils which gave about 30mm lift. Wasn't really looking for' THE LIFT' but this was replacement for standard and I couldn't be happier.The price was right, advice and work standard high as you should expect from
suspension specialists. Ride is much better over speed humps etc. , so should be smoother on the rough stuff . Thoroughly recommend WA Suspensions in Osborne Park.
Safe driving, DRC
