has anyone used gabriel suspension? i was in supercheap the other day and they have a listing for starions. First i heard that we had this option. Are they any good?
you wont be able to get any australia wide, apparantly a fuck up as they are nothing like the starion shocks. Rear anyway, a mate grabbed one of the last pairs available and when he got home, bzzzzzzzt completely wrong setup. They might have fixed it now? had been like that at least the last coupld of years tho, if you find any make sure they're the same style before you take them home.
I have the blue tokico´s. And they are very good. Still a smooth ride but cornering is great! I also added the sway bars form suspension techniques front and rear also very good upgrade. The Tokico´s are not that expensive.
Johan,
Tokico is no longer available in Australia unless Imported from the U.S or other parts of the world. They were a direct replacement for the Starion once without having to modify the rear tube at all and worked well for a street set up.
You need to....
Remove the rear strut, remove the insert and weld a sleve in there to take the new insert, drill a small hole in the bottom of the strut to let any build up from forming. (the sleve will come with the insert if its needed)
