In the video below it shows you what is involved in just one of the types of “lift kits” you can have done at Suspension Supplies Australia. These skills have provided the basis for research and testing to develop the range of quality BLUEMAX springs sold here in Australia and exported to other countries.
It is this skill, quality and attention to detail that has built a strong reputation for Brisbane Springs over the years. The art of manufacturing springs is what Suspension Supplies Australia was built on, and over the years the tradesmen have proudly applied their spring making skills to build and develop BLUEMAX products for all customers.
