The classic test: push down hard on each corner and release — the car should rise and settle once, not bounce. But the real signs are longer braking distances, a "floaty" feel over undulating roads, and cupped tyre wear. Shocks typically fade between 80,000–100,000 km — gradually enough that most drivers never notice until they feel new ones.

Not when done properly. A quality coilover kit or matched springs with correct damping, aligned afterwards, drives better than stock. What ruins cars is cut springs, wrong spring rates and skipping the alignment — that's when you get broken CV joints, tramlining and destroyed tyres. We only fit setups we can stand behind.

Street specs prioritise tyre life and stability. Track geometry trades some of that for grip: more negative camber, specific toe settings, sometimes more caster. Tell us how the car is actually used and we align it for that — and give you both spec sheets so you can switch seasonally if you want.

Corner weighting balances how much weight each wheel carries by adjusting the suspension per corner. For street cars it's a nice-to-have; for track and race cars it's the difference between a car that turns left and right equally and one that doesn't. If you've fitted coilovers for competition use, it's the essential final step.

Yes — our shop stocks suspension components from premium performance to OEM-grade, and parts we supply and fit carry a combined parts + labour warranty. You're also welcome to bring quality parts you've bought yourself; we fit them with our labour warranty.
