Title: aftermarket clutch sales in sydney au
Post by: Boostitem on May 20, 2013, 03:39:48 AM
anyone know where you can buy aftermarket friction plates here in AU? Need new clutch for my gs, and suzuki have told me that for all friction plates, steel plates, springs and gasket I'm looking at $355... Seeing all our american counterparts are buying full kits from between 90 and 200 bucks I was wondering if there are any aftermarket suppliers down here or are we f%&ked, as usual... WHY IS EVERYTHING SO f%$king EXPENSIVE DOWN HERE??????? Much f%$king frustration...

I've just been quoted $298 for a shim removal tool from an Adelaide Suzuki specialist supplier.
There's a few on ebay for $20.
Ray...:  :flipoff:
