D2 sell coilover for $1825 a set, a place here in canberra i hang out at on days off can supply and fit of a tad extra

[RobertoX]

7kg front and 3.5kg rear are the spring rates

[Daniel-AE86]

That's the wrong rate for the rear, its way off. Double check

Thats why you buy them fom someone who knows what they are doing ...... 7k fr and 3.5 rear is what they supply standard - mine are coming with 7k front and 5k rears , I can get them with any rate i want . This set cost $100 extra to airfreight as the distributor does not stock them as yet so will be around the $1900 mark I would think . Pics coming as soon as they arrive !

[choonga]

There were some pics of these in the lattest drift battle mag, for $1995 says suit most models, there purple.

[option1]

Well this is the kit - Coil over sleeves and inserts for the front with camber tops , lowered springs and replacement shocks for the rear with Adjustable panhard rod . The shocks are fully adjustable - price is $1900

No welding needed .......... you should remove the original spring seats tho

Not sure on rears - will have to find out

[Hyuga]

So the rears are not height adjustable? but why I see the tread on the rear shocks. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/blink.gif

[monkeymajik]

Considering all the goodies in there, that is a pretty good price!! Providing they perform well!

[Daniel-AE86]

i would like to see the outcome. Very interest http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

[gg004]

[choonga]

I honestly don't understand how the collar will securely attach to the strut without welding and removal of the existing spring perch. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/blink.gif

Is the collar supposed to attach to the strut with like grub screws or something?

Please enlighten me!

[funkymonkey]

in any case... these are the puppies you want on the back http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif much better control, just need to suss out if the top where the shock sits can actually support all the weight of the car instead of it being shared between the spring and the strut.

might just do this to make sure it dosen't rip off under extreme stress...
