The essential foundation for predictable, high-performance handling. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for Hardrace. By replacing soft, compliant factory bushings and fixed-length arms with reinforced alternatives, Hardrace allows you to take total control of your wheel alignment and chassis rigidity. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for their massive range of steering and suspension hardware.
The Hardrace Reinforcement Philosophy
Hardrace has built a global following by offering a middle ground between "too soft" factory parts and "too harsh" pure race components. Their proprietary Harden Rubber technology provides a 150% increase in strength over OE rubber, eliminating unwanted geometry change under load while maintaining enough compliance to prevent excessive cabin vibration. For dedicated track builds, their Pillow Ball (spherical) range offers zero deflection for the most direct steering and suspension feedback possible.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the primary Hardrace performance range: • Adjustable Control Arms: Essential for correcting camber and toe on lowered Toyota 86 / GR86, Subaru WRX/STI, and Nissan Z platforms. • Reinforced Bushing Kits: Full-vehicle sets that restore the "new car" feel to high-kilometre Ford Barra and Euro performance models. • Roll Centre Adjusters: Specially designed ball joints that correct the suspension geometry on lowered cars, reducing bump steer and improving cornering grip. • Anti-Roll Bars & End Links: Upgraded sway bars and adjustable links to fine-tune chassis balance and eliminate body roll.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical expertise to assist you in selecting the correct bushing material and arm configuration for your specific alignment goals. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your Hardrace hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
Hardrace Suspension FAQ
Should I choose Harden Rubber or Pillow Ball bushings?
Harden Rubber is the best choice for street-driven performance cars and daily drivers, as it offers improved precision without the noise and harshness of metal bearings. Pillow Ball (spherical) bushings are designed for dedicated track and race cars where maximum feedback and zero deflection are more important than cabin comfort.
Why do I need Roll Centre Adjusters on a lowered car?
When you lower a car, the angle of the control arms changes, which moves the vehicle's roll centre further into the ground. This creates more body roll even with stiffer springs. Hardrace Roll Centre Adjusters bring the arms back to their optimal horizontal position, restoring the geometry and improving mechanical grip.
How quickly can you source Hardrace parts?
We utilise a robust international and local supply network to provide the fastest possible turnaround. Most Hardrace adjustable arms and common bushing kits for popular Australian platforms are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery nationwide.
