Love that new suspension Kula, is that powdercoated or painted? Where can you get those superpro bushes?(sorry just did a search found an SA dealer) and indication on rough $, so i dont get ripped off..


I just got quoted $630 incl for the SuperPro Enhancement Kit KIT131K which includes 36 bushes, 30 inner tubes and 12 washers. I'm still awaiting another $ from one of the other suppliers, but is that reasonable? seems a little pricey..

havent had one bad comment about the canards,
they are probly illegal, but i reckon they will break before doing any damage to anyones ankles.

i did notice a slight difference with them on at speed, >120km/h the car did feel more stable in a straight line.

a new bar is on the way;)

The cusco zero2s are ok, mine are used, so im not sure of what state they are in, i run them on 2 front 3 rear i think, before i got the bushes and brace i ran them 5 allround (full stiff) next track day i will do some more experimenting.

with the brace, it made a massive difference, but its a bit too low, i dont think theres a speed hump anywhere in sydney i can clear!

its about 6cms clearance.
ouch!

lol i can just see you the next day slicing someone's ankles off then saying "whoops, maybe i was wrong about that?" ahahaha that would be amusing, except for the victim of course :lol: hmmmm, i might have to reconsider purchasing some now, they do make it look good too.

I bought mine from GT suspension in Melbourne. Paid about $600 18 months ago. The Mazda ones around the $700-$800 mark. If you have aftermarket sway bars you wont need bushes supplied in the kit, so that might save you a few bucks (assuming they are included in the kit).
