Suzuki Swift GTI

[leeye]

I'm a big fan and owner of a Suzuki Swift GTI. Small little pocket rocket.

OK i've gotten all the possible Whiteline suspension components for the GTI (oversized sway bars front and rear, poly bushes all round), Koni adjustable shocks and Kings Springs (sorry but the Whiteline Superlow springs were out of stock). The car's handling is superb now running on a set of Bridgestone S-03 rubbers. I couldn't ask for more (except a set of Whiteline coilovers????).

Would like to know if Whiteline has any intentions of going further in terms of chassis improvemnts like building roll cages.

G'day Leeye,

First up I'd like to thank you for your encouraging words :)

We have recently developed two new products for the SF. These are;

KSB707 Front lower control arm two point brace, and

KSB705. Same as for the above but designed for large bore exhaust clearance. This item produces a lowered ground clearance and is suitable for track use only.

We will keep you informed as other products are developed.

Regards

Hi Peter,

Wojtek@Whiteline has been a great help gto answer most of my questions when selecting the bushes for my GTI. So everything went well.

Would like to know if there would be any significant differences in the suspension setup/settings between a NA GTI and a Turbocharged GTI (20-30% more HP)? The recommended Whiteline settings was based on a NA GTI?

Lastly, I wished Whiteline would set up a membership club where Whiteline members can purchase the parts at a discount. That would be great, please consider that!

G'day everyone,

Leeye, we'd like nothing more than to create some sort of loyalty program for Whiteline customers but we are a manufacturer and we rely primarily on distributors and dealers to sell our product.

The very small amount of stuff we sell directly via our WebStore etc is done at our published retail price as a service for people that have trouble sourcing our parts otherwise. That is, we do not wish to compete with our distributors and so we have to be carefull with any scheme that alienates them. Hope you can understand this.

However, we do have a plan in development whereby we can reward customers with a manufacturers cash-back involving our distributors. This is not the appropriate place to discuss the details but we will publish them soon elsewhere.

In the meantime, I thought I'd respond to your excellent suggestion... just need to find a fair way of doing it. :D

Cheers
Jim

Hi Jim, I'm back again. I am just curious, can Whiteline custom make a set of front coilovers for the Suzuki GTI?

Also are there poly bush kit for the GTI steering?

:D

G'day Leeye,

Producing a new shock and spring combination "that works" takes a lot of development time Leeye and I doubt in the short term that we will be producing a Group4 set up for your car.

We do not currently have a a replacement bush set for your steering either - It would seem that we haven't been of much assistance this time Leeye :(

Regards

Peter
