HSD Coilovers

[Jeo]

Anyone had any experience with them?

Found plenty of non-MX5 hits but the best I could come up with was a few random unanswered questions here, and one guy on CR.net using them in the UK.

[wazman]

I know of plenty of guys that use them in nissan silvia's and mazda rx7....... and never a bad word spoken by the owners when asked about their performance or functionality. My mate has had them in his rx7 for 4 years now, no porbs, and it see's planty of hard track work and spirited twisties runs........ He says they have 3 model's available now.....his are the middle ones..... black and green....

I bought a set of these things off ebay (clicky link below)...I dont have a big budget and i hate "tein", so i thought i'd see how these things go... Will put up picks and performance feed back in my build thread in the "garage chat" section, once i get em in and tested.......Note that if i had the extra cash i would have bought HSD's over BC or tein......

i wouldn't be buying a set of coilovers from NZ, no warrenty.

better off organising a group buy through josh / wholesale suspension and asking for a $1300 price tag.

[Jeo]

There are three levels for some cars, but anything non-Nissan only gets the bottom and middle option. I was looking at the middle option, rrp of $1600.

I was contemplating the BC Racing ones too but obviously comparing every option I can find at the moment. Wholesale Suspension was quoting around the $1300-1400 mark if I remember correctly.

These came up because a sponsor of another forum that I'm on just started stocking them.

This is a copy of an E-mail I sent one of my customers only 3 weeks ago now regarding this E-Bay guy in NZ.
I have no worries baggin their serivce out at all as I have about 5 or six E-mails in my in box about his crap serivce and people wanting me to fix his mess up's.

This is what I sent this guy that was shopping me for a price againt the E-Bay guy.

Hey Andrew,

Your welcome for the reply, I assume that the $1290 shipped price is from the guy in New Zealand via EBay, I don't like bagging other people but here I will not hesitate to do so.

This guy had flooded the Australian market with these cheap BC kits, They are in a way the same kit that I have quoted you on, I can come down a little in price but the difference between us and him (if you check our website) (http://www.wholesalesuspension.com.au)
is that we are a suspension store, we have been around for 18 years here in Sydney and we are NOT going anywhere, if you have any dramas with your product, we are here, we will answer your E-mail's as you can see. we always try to help you with info or spring rates or parts, whatever needs to happen to make you the customer happy with our products. We are the Sole Australian distributer for BC Kits and this guy just under cuts us all day long.
I could pass on numerous E-mail's from his customers that has had bits missing from their kits sent from NZ, Kits packaged incorrectly and wrongly supplied kits from his shed.
The reason they Email me is because once they buy from him and (It all turns out bad) he won't take their phone calls and will not Email them back and when he does the answer is always the same, you bought it on Ebay, take it up with them!

Andrew sorry if this sounds like a big bag out fest on this guy, but we have had enough of being undercut when we (in my opinion) provide such a good service right here in Oz.

I honestly don't mind taking our price down a little but I won't be helping out any more people that buy from Ebay and then want me to order them the right parts.

I can do you the BC BR Type kit for $1*** + $20 Freight, Can still have it Early next week providing there are no other worries.

Thanks for listening to my Wednesday morning rant! (haha)

Regards Josh.

Keep in mind guys and girls, his kits are that price plus $90.00 as freight, so $1285.00 landed. We were like $1300 or so. we are here in OZ.

Geez .......Where was the advertising? How a we to know you have these things?.........I had a quick skim through the sponsor section before i bought mine but didn't see anything that jumped out and said we sell these!!! you should do a massive list of stuff you got and chuck it up in that section....

cheers waz

um dude, there are threads everywhere about their products.

[emd-mx5]

i'm thinking about getting a set of HSD coilovers.

just don't know whether to get the base model 8/6kg or the middle range which are 10/8kg. might be too stiff for the Adelaide hills

[bretauto]

I brought my BC's through Wholesale suspension, They even got me the spring rates I wanted, at no extra charge, Great service!
When you look at the stuff from NZ, you will also have to consider who it is freighted with, and if it gets picked up in customs , items over $1000 will require you to pay gst and duty, [ so you can add another $200 approx..][ fedex & others will automatly add these charges]

what did did u end up going for Jeo?

[Jeo]

Nothing yet. Still tossing up between the HSD's and the BC Racing's but not in any sort of rush to buy right now. Waiting for the right wheels to pop up first.

[f3lix]

i actually got the HSD HR few weeks ago now. I should be getting the car back this weekend.. i hope..

[Jeo]

Sounds good, keep us posted as to how they go.
