Talk to VVDS in Sydney 02-9789-1777 as they need to be reamed to correct sizes
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

thanks for the replies, i have already had it done i was asking so i could check against the price i paid. i supplied the new king pins the drop spindals.[ they supplied shims separately for when i assemble it onto the car] they supplied the actual carriers that the king pins are pressed into.

Once done move on, if you are happy that's all that counts now, the $ are gone but the smile lives on. 😁

I'm looking at getting the same thing done - where would one look to get them reamed and pressed etc?? A general mechanic or suspension joint?

+ plus the kits are getting harder to purchase Kombi ones are even worse

Exchange should be around $200-250 with German parts, plus the carriers you wanted supplied which $100 or so would be reasonable......if it was a good job, you should be happy IMO.
