Curious... what's everyone think of Whiteline suspension products? Compared to Cusco or STi? Any thoughts?

 

Whiteline has been around a lot longer then you think.

 

All reviews of Whiteline products that I've read have been very positive. You can't go wrong with the price, and just because it's from Japan or is an STi product, doesn't make it the best!

 

Whiteline has great customer service.

(on my WRX: Comfort ALK, Steering Rack Bushings, 22mm Front Swaybar, 22mm Adjustable Rear Swaybar, Heavy Duty Rear Swaybar Mounts, rear alloy end links)

 

I have to agree, I've never seen anything negative about their products. But they don't seem to get as much attention as the other suspension companies. Don't get me wrong, that's definately not a bad thing. Just figured I'd try and get a little more feedback before I buy all my suspension parts. Whiteline of course.

 

Like spelk3 said, great customer service. I like their products, and have quite a few on my car and wouldn't hesitate to put any of their products on my car.
Very competitive pricing.

My 2¢

 

Whiteline is good stuff. I have a rear strut brace, subframe lockers, and solid endlinks. Their hardware is sometimes not as good as stock, but the swaybars/endlinks/etc. are top notch. They are also a great value, and they R&D their products to death before they release them. For a lot of good info, jsut go to www.whiteline.com.au and read for yourself.

 

Whiteline was a bit more popular a few years ago when they were pretty much the only company offering sway bars and and other suspension parts to the US Subaru community. Since then a lot of other companies have arrived. Their emphasis has always been performance value for money. They provide technically correct solutions and innovative engineering to all of their products. Their stuff works and works well. At a great price.

They have lost favor in the eyes of some because some of the finish quality didn't match some of the newer stuff out there. Some have complained about the quality of the powder coating on the sway bars or an endlink or two that has snapped. To tell you the truth, I've seen Cusco bars that scratch and pit just as easily. They have recently switched to a silver powder coat over the previous light blue for a better aesthetic match to people's components. However, they don't make automotive jewelry. And regardless of the complaint or problem, Whiteline has always stepped up to the plate and refunded or replaced product immediately.

Which brings me to my next point. Aside from their innovative products I have to say that their service and dedication to the enthusiast community, esp. the Subaru community, is really unparalleled. Where else do you get the head of an overseas company coming onto these boards and discussing their product? and not just for marketing purposes! Jim Gurieff has provided mountains of technical know-how culled from years of tuning these cars and offers the info free of charge and unbiased to us.

There may be fancier out there, at twice the cost but I will support these guys for most of my suspension needs.

 

I have products from both companies on my car. In my opinion, get the cusco parts if they are available. I do like the new endlinks whiteline just made... put in a set tonight!

 

I had whiteline front and rear sway bars and end links on my 01RS and it made a big difference in the ride I had them along with a set of Tein S-Tech springs nice cheap set up (stock struts). But I do know of somebody had a Whiteline end link break on hm....

 

from my understanding its all good with whiteline. I have a few of their products. The only thing I, and everyone I konw stays away from is they're crazy bent metal endlinks. Go with the machined ones.
