Suspension mods in SA

Where would be a good place to go in Adelaide for suspension work? i'm looking at front and rear strut braces, and lowering/tightning the car's suspension...
Also, would it be worth getting a better exhaust (2S-E engine) before or after replacing the engine? Can the 2S-E be improved much?
Thanks.

hey what sort of car is that?
I got my celica's suspension(king springs+KYB shocks+new steering arm) fitted at Action Suspension Engineering over in edwardstown, they mainly specialize in crash repairing suspension but do a good job. thy were a litle pricey though but not too bad for cash in comaprison to everywhere else. I only went there because i have known family friends that have been there prev. and been satisfied, and i just wanted a professional job.
good luck.....

A lot of people have been telling me to to to Pedders (most likely because they specialise in suspension and steering).
Any experiences with them?

Hunty: I got a set of Noletech (Nolathane, but a different colour basicly) from Chris at Autobbarn last year. Bout $250 (give or take.. my memory is a bit rusty) for every replacement bush for the suspension in an AE82. Handles much nicer too!
Fully recommended upgrade.
Craig.

dude.. go anywhere BUT pedders.. they are soooo sh!t..
i've had to call head office to get stuff followed up..
VERY poor effort on their behalf.. basically, they lowered my car 2 inches.. they put the wrong gear in 3 TIMES!!!
yep.. totally wrong springs etc. . They dont sell bushes for alot of jap cars in polyeurothane.. Not only that but my shox are FUKT after 20,000 K'z... yep, totally useless, so i'm trying to claim them on warranty and they're f***ing me around..
I REPEAT DO NOT GOTO PEDDERS!! I ended up getting my bushes from Whiteline and had them shipped up to briz.. cuz briz aint got nowhere great for suspension mods..
