I dont wanna make myself look like I get commission from Mao. But he can get both sways fitted for 600, and link is 170 per pair. $80 for a wheel alignment...

Four wheel alignment $180 ish

Forgot endlinks $360 plus install.

So $100 left over for install.
Prices from online Whiteline store. I'm guessing Wilkinsons are not quoting those catalogue prices
Good call, easy to forget how quickly things add up. Sounds like a decent deal accounting for install to me.

RHDJapan

Cusco swaybar, both landed for $530 shipped from Cusco warehouse

There r so much more choices and cheaper options if u know where to look at.

More middle man involved, higher the price will be. Ie, WL factory -> custom -> master distributor -> workshops ->customers. Middle man can be skipped

Mao did a great job on my old bugeye with bars and links for half the bloody price of that Wilkinsons quote. Now I have access to a hoist I can do it myself, but seriously, if you want bars and links installed I can do it for a grand, let me know which brands u want to use . . .

I got my Whiteline sways through Gordon's favourite garage for a great price. Less than a week after installation, there was a clunking noise coming from the front when going over bumps and on some turns. When my car was in for service the following week, my mechanic informed me that the front sway was the incorrect one. It was too short and the end-links were stretched and failing. *groan* I even did the homework and gave them the correct serial numbers for the parts to order... still managed to get it wrong!

As Gordon mentioned (and Doug will tell you the same thing), a lot of Whiteline's stuff gets pretty noisy, especially their ALK kits. The sways will be fine, but I'd look to Perrin and Cusco for other bits and pieces.

and this is why I'm on the forum.

In between all the shit flinging and banter, the information you seek is there.

Thanks guys, very much appreciated.
