Which packageis right for you?

The right answer is the one that matches how the car is actually driven, not the top of the ladder. Here's how the four levels differ, who each one suits, and the questions we'll ask before recommending one.

A sway bar link, a spring, a twin-tube coilover and a mono-tube coilover arranged as a ladderFour levels, one question: how is it driven?

The short version

  • Street: Whiteline sway bars. Daily and spirited. Factory height and dampers.
  • Super Street: adds S.TECH springs. Stance and body control on a daily.
  • Sport: Flex Z coilovers. Fast road with track days. Adjustable.
  • Super Sport: Mono Racing. Track-focused, where TEIN make it for the car.

The only question that matters

What does the car do most weeks? Not what it could do, or what you'd like it to do one day — what it does. A car that commutes five days and sees a mountain road once a month wants a different setup from one that's trailered to a track. Everything else — budget, parts, brand — follows from that.

Street — sharper, nothing else changes

A Whiteline front and rear sway bar kit, fitted and set to a baseline, with a follow-up setup session. Ride height and dampers untouched. It's for the car that's a daily first and a weekend car second, and for anyone who wants the biggest handling change with the least disruption. If the factory dampers are tired, this is still the right first step — but budget for dampers soon.

Super Street — lower and settled

Everything in Street plus TEIN S.TECH lowering springs and an alignment. The car comes down by a chassis-specific amount and the body settles. Factory dampers stay, so they need to be healthy. It's for street cars wanting stance and body control without the cost or the adjustment of coilovers.

Sport — height and damping become settings

TEIN Flex Z twin-tube coilovers replace the springs and dampers, with a Whiteline sway bar kit. Ride height and 16-way damping are adjustable, and we set them — with shock length — to the car's use, then align it. It's for fast-road cars that see the occasional track day, and for anyone whose factory dampers were due anyway.

Super Sport — where it exists

TEIN Mono Racing monotube coilovers, a Whiteline sway bar kit, full setup with corner weighting where appropriate, and two follow-up sessions. It's only offered where TEIN make a Mono Racing application for the car, and it's for cars that are driven seriously or see the track regularly. If the car is mostly a daily, we'll steer you to Sport and say why.

Not every car gets all four levels. Packages are built from the parts that actually exist for the vehicle — we won't invent a tier to complete the ladder.

What we'll ask you

The car and chassis. How it's used most weeks. What's already been done to it. Whether the factory dampers are original. What you want it to do better — turn in, sit lower, stop wallowing, survive a track day. From that we'll recommend a level, or say honestly if a different one fits. Every package is priced per car on the car's page, so once you know the level you can book it online. Wheel alignment is arranged through a trusted provider near our Brendale workshop — we don't run alignment equipment in-house.

Questions

Asked before you ask.

Can I move up a level later?
Yes. The sway bars carry across every tier; springs are replaced when you move to coilovers.
Can I buy a package online?
Yes — each car's package page shows the price for that chassis and books it at checkout. We then call to confirm the car and set a date. Not sure which level? Ask first and we'll recommend one.
Is fitting included?
Yes — every package includes installation and setup at Brendale. Alignment, where included, is arranged through a nearby provider.
