Hi guys

So I'm interested to see what suspension and strut combination that i can use in my 1983 1200 ute and people's thoughts on which are the best way to go.. Im trying to figure out a good upgrade for my ute with a bit of both worlds being good performance and ride quality..

It currently has 120y struts and s13 brakes but looking for a bit more Performace I guess


All help is appreciated
Thanks

Cannot beat a set of Koni's. Not cheap but lifetime warranty and they will rebuild them for you whenever. Great shocks.

if you want a high performance option check out the S15 shock and spindle, R32 skyline disc and 4 spot caliper combo i have on a ute, there is a lot of this stuff around and lots of shock / spring options available

After a run in anges ute I'm not sure why you needmore!
Also tomos n14 4 spot sumitomo combo was pretty impressive.
