    Where to buy bilstiens

    Okay , i need to change my shocks (bistiens) over as they are to short. What i need to know is where to buy Bilstiens to suit 80 Series for the front and GQ's for the rear. Preferably somewhere in the Dandenong region.
    Also need to do the Brakelines aswell, where is the best spot for these? (dandy again would be good)
    oh and bumpstop is front around 125mm
    Rear 170mm.

    And wil probably be selling my bilstiens if anyone is keen, they are 243's and 253's

    Look up Quadrant Suspension. In the Dande area or just up the road from memory.

    TLC 80 Series Billies aren't much longer than Landy shocks, and don't have as much travel as Koni and OME 80 Series dampers. If you want longer travel Billies, better off getting LRA/Les Richmond long travel ones. Not sure if Quadrant can supply those, I believe Heasmans/Sydney Shocks in Sydney can, as well as Les Richmond.

    B46-1478 80 Series Billy is 591mm open/380 mm closed.
    B46-0243 is 548mm open/330.5mm closed
    LRA long Billy is 100mm longer open, 50mm longer closed, so should be 648/380.5mm. You'll need taller towers with these to prevent shock bottoming out.
    82-2385 Koni 80 series is 617mm open/370mm closed. Towers have to be raised to prevent shock going metal to metal.
    The only OME numbers I have are for 80 Series LTR 01F which is 614mm/354mm, so more travel than Koni. OME N73 should be the same open/closed, but I'd check that.

    Yeah i noticed that the Billie 80's aren't that long, will look into Koni's then.
    The LRA long travel shocks are well over $500 a pair, far to expencive.
    May have to go for a cheaper alternatinve, any ideas on a good budget shock? Was looking at ride pro but know nothing about them.
