Hey guys I've owned my Kizashi since 2012, It's a 2010 XLS. Bought it with 50,000km on the clock and worked up an average of 30,000km a year. Presently it has 204,000km but it's going just as great as back in 2012. Anyway the suspension is was starting to feel slouchy so I looked around for a replacement perhaps an upgrade.
Suzuki wanted for the rear $240+gst each shock, $136+gst each spring, fronts $360+gst shock, $182+gst spring... Thats $2,019.60 for the lot not fitted. With that I also found there was no listing difference between models, I was always led to believe that the Sport was slightly lower and firmer possibly not in Australia however.
After a bit of hunting around I ended up on the Tein website which had some listed distributors in Melbourne one of which was Hakon suspension in Somerton 9305 1448. They got back to me first with prices and lists and best of all no King Springs, I've had king springs before and they are great but also nasty lol
I've ended up with H&R Springs all round and KYB Shocks which were just a replacement shock not an up grade but hey should be fine. $470 for the Springs, $809 for the shocks plus fitting and 4 wheel alignment all up $1,838 and it drives beautifully.
