I'm looking at upgrading my brakes and suspension before i buy any more go fast bits for my car, I want to get the Works Whiteline Kit, has anyone brought this? or using whiteline stuff, just want your opinion, other problem is there is no Whiteline Dealer in darwin, so i will have to install it my self, then take it to a shop to get aligned, thanks for any help Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i just put a whiteline works kit on mine and had it aligned.. all new bushes too (only front end so far, will change the rear ones soon). anyway its a LOT better than any VL i've driven before, it sits flat and the steering is much more direct and responsive. however, unfortunately due to the weather i havent thrown it around too much just yet...

yeah i had all good comments about it till about 6 months or so ago, about the only things ill say are any good now are the swaybars.. but who knows how they will be going in another 6 months. And the way they handled it was dissapointing too. who knows, it may be fine now, a few of the parts that were supplied in my kit have been replaced or revised in the newer kits, i cant comment on them, but their older stuff im not at all impressed with.

Wellsy - i have never heard of a commodore being factory fitted with Whiteline suspension. The only aftermarket suspension i can ever imagine holden factory fitting would be the HDT spec gear. How do you know it was factory fitted???

so whiteline, other than 87Calais, who clearly got fu ked over by the product think it's ok, and last a while, cause the only other thing i'm worried about is the weather up here, the humidity etc, would be opting for only ruber bushes as the nuathan (can'tspell) perish up here to quickly

why would nolathane bushes perish quicker than rubber ones?
