Different type s of Coilovers !

[Mechanix]

Hi there every one.I have a urgent question.There are 2 types of coilovers on the market. One 's rear spring is seperate from strut , and the other is one piece.

This is Megan Racing

This one is Tein

As seen tein is one piece , but megan's system is seperate from strut.

Question is ; Are them both fit to all AE86 's on plenet ? Or are there any different suspentions types by specs ?

Help this desperate man :(

Thanks .

Wrong Section

But if its for an AE86 it will fiit any ae86.

the rear set up in the first picture looks like its just an adjustable spring/shock combination. not a 'coilover'

fronts dont even look like AE86 coilovers from that first pic?

[OMG866]

thats cause u have to weld the bottom of your strut to those megan coilovers Clint

Hımm , thats my thought too but i have to be sure.Thanks man.
Why wrong section by the way , its a tech q :)

Any other opinions ?

if you purchase 86 model from both they will fit, manufacturers dont always take photos the specific product rather one that they can use across all. The photo of the teins will more likely than not be from another vehicle.

the fact that the megans have to be welded onto the stub axle is irrelevant to the question.

Yeah pics sometimes might be different.But i know there are two types as i said.Seperate spring and one piece.
Let me ask this way then , are all the ae86's stock suspentions have springs seperated from struts ? Or some models have one piece suspenstion at the rear ?

there are also 2 types from Greedy,
most people will just make their own with good quality partss

teins are a separate spring and shock for the rear as well.
