EFS suspension dealer

[MasterHai]

It's finally time for the rig to get a suspension upgrade/lift and i have decide to go with EFS.

i would like to know if there are any good suspension shop in my local area (springvale/dandenong.MELBOURNE) that people would recommend or had good experience with?

Cheer.

You will not be disappointed with EFS mate! I put mine in 4 yrs ago and have never had an issue!

Went HD shocks in front and back with HD coils up front. Kept the original leaf suspension in the rear but had 1 leaf added and then had them reset to level out the car. Went HD up front to cater for the weight of 2nd battery, steel ARB bar and to be able to handle the weight of a winch if I decide to go that way in the future.

Did the Tele track this yr and did it easily.

$1250 fitted in Toowoomba, but like I said, that was back in 08 so it might be a bit more than that now. It raised the car about 60mm (more than the 40mm odd that they told me) and hasn't really sagged at all like a lot of the others do.

Friggin awesome- and for what it's worth, I've never seen anyone complain about them on this forum either!.

Good times

G'day MasterHai,
As far as I am concerned you wont be disappointed with the EFS package. My Lux was the first to have the EFS Heavy Duty kit put in it in Australia, which was over 5 years ago or 125,000 k's ago. had the full kit put in with both springs and shocks. Shocks have now all been replaced ( My Lux was the test bed) Due to a leaking seal on one of the rears 6 months ago and the guys at Carrolls Springs (they are the manufacturer) replaced both rears at a very modest cost, (I always carry a full stainless and ally roller drawer system in the back, which normally weighs at least 500kg min) Along with everything else required for when I go away, adds to a lot of continuous weightload. And several weeks ago while playing in the mud and skull dragging Nissans out, I snapped one of the welds on the bottom of the strut where it welds to the lower eye. Seems that a bit too much salt water and beach work didn't help, along with my extremely adventurous driving!
Carrolls once again replaced both for me at a very reasonable price and I left all 4 shocks with them to send back to their R&D department for testing. In all this time none of the springs have sagged, even with what I've put them through.
Needless to say I am a fan of the EFS and their service, so much so that my partner is putting them in her 11 Jeep Cherokee Limited. I know you're in Melbourne so here is the details for Carroll's in Melbourne,
146-148 Freight Drv, Somerton VIC 3062, Australia
(03) 9303 9900
Not sure who you talk to there but I usually spoke to Doug Butler (factory Manager) of Carroll's at Wacol in Brisbane. I'm sure that Carroll's in Melbourne do the same installation as they do up here, I've always believed in going to the source and I'm positive they'll look after you, but otherwise I'm sure they'll put you onto the best people nearest you.
Cheers Dan

Hey if guys with the efs kit get a catch would you mine doing a measurement from the bottom of the flare to the centre of the wheel hub on the front and back of the lux

Hello all,

Have looked at a few threads and can't find one I'm looking for. Interested to know what members have paid for supply and install of EFS suspension. Preferably on 05 to 2015 Hilux. And in Melbourne.

Regards
Chesh.
