So I'm chasing a few things for my MY05 3.0R-B Wagon.
-Looking for a set of new Billies, any tyrepower ones around? Otherwise I'll be looking into eventually rebuilding the ones I've got (which still seem to pretty good after 100k).
-Would like some 18x8.5 wheels, the stockies are so damn skinny!
-After a genuine heavy duty tow bar to replace the light duty (500kg) one that the previous owner installed. Swaps with people who want a leaf style tow bar (as opposed to a square hitch) welcome.
-The rear spoiler has a big chunk missing so am after a new standard silver rear wagon spoiler.
I've been looking for these for a while now so any suggestions of where I could find any of these would be great!
Cheers

The TyrePower Billies came off Sedans, and required the original wagon springs to be reused.
If your are retrofitting a Spec B, then your originals should be sweet.
I have recently seen some Billies on ebay
ebay item 281216481967
buy it now

I've just bought a set of Bilstein springs from cruisn which he has said are for the wagons and came from a set of tyrepower billies and so only have delivery kms on them. As I have a b spec already I'd only be looking for new/very low km billies.. Those ones on eBayare likely to have high kms and are for a 3rd gen not a 4th gen anyway. I'll keep lookout on eBay now so thanks for the suggestion.
Cheers

Aha, the man that beat me to the springs
If you decide it's "too hard basket" trying to find some quality shocks then I'll happily take the springs off your hands.
I'll even offer up some Tyre Power sedan billy springs with only delivery K's plus $100 if you're interested?
PM me if you're keen

Yeah, a white one is no good as the cost to respray that I got quoted for one of these is ~$300. They said the minimum order for my paint alone is $160.
Thanks anyway Jarrod
Also, from what I've read the sedan and wagon billies are identical jax0n... I'm also under the impression that wagons and sedans have the same weight distribution and overall weight so the springs being the same also makes sense. So you could just install the ones that you have.

Yeah I just don't want to mess around with saggy butt spacers is all. I'd rather leave that until the wagon springs start to droop.
Cheers anywho
