Suspension upgrades for Monaro/GTO
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Any of you gus down under know of better suspension parts for these cars. My GTO has terrible understeer, and I am looking for some parts:
1 - Camber plates
2 -Sway bars/ anti-roll bars, stabilizer bars, dunno what you Aussies call them so I figured I cover all the bases..
3- Bushings, both rollbar and suspension bushings. The front suspension deflects rearward under hard braking an alarming amount. I figure it is in the front lower bushing, but need some help with it. Anybody have a spherical bearing insert for this bushing??
4- Lastly, my LSD still breaks the inside tire loose on the track. Maybe some stab bars would help, but I'd like to pre-load the diff more. That way I might be able to power-on rotate the car some more..
Anything??
Cheer!

Front KHFL-47HHD = 350-500lb" progressive
Rear KHRL-46HHD = 600-1000lb" progressive
Please note that these coils are designed for the top end performance market and will firm ride considerably. This combination is very popular here in Australia when used for track / street work, and not wanting to go to the expense of a full blown coil over suspension package designed for track only.

Whiteline is an excellent company. However do not buy direct. You want to find a US authorized dealer as the shipping is expensive
Many companies that sell Subaru parts could be Whiteline dealers. I used to own a subaru and have owned Whiteline parts.
The great thing about them is that they have been in the game for a long time and know what works. It's hard to buy something from an american company when AUS has had the car for a longer time and Whiteline probably has more research in the performance of the Holden cars.

Rear KHRL-46HHD = 600-1000lb" progressive
