they where a small fortune in the first place!

I was gonna get a set through my old work at cost price - 20% (dead stock special pricing) and it was still gonna cost me $1800

you probably wont get a set today for under $3k

quotes from fast and furious time
"more than you can afford pal"

but seriously not worth the money better off spending a good 1500 and getting a decent street setup of front coilovers then rear springs n adj shocks, will work effectively still.

I don't think Koni make ready to run coilovers, you will have to get the Koni coil over kit, which is a weld on setup, someone else might be able to confirm?

I run Koni adjustable shocks all round and it is almost as good as a track setup, I just don't have the adjustable ease of coilovers.

if you have the money why not go S13 front end??? a lot more option for the suspension setup.

holy fuck.

google that shit. (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Greddy+type+s+AE86&btnG=Search&meta=cr%3DcountryAU)

Infinite Autosports (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=40) (not sure if ken is still doing greddy systems as they are not listed. PM Him.)

then google that shit more generally for other options (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=ae86+coilovers&btnG=Search&meta=cr%3DcountryAU)

DMS (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php?p=38331)

then there is D2 - Chinaaaaa (http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17539)

Apart from those options you really have to look for some second hand ones
or start with 86 Struts and get them converted to coilover.

AJPS (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=43&order=desc) custom coilovers using existing 86 struts. not listed at the moment but head over to daves website here (http://www.ajps.com.au/parts/ajps_coilovers.asp)

which Dimitry can supply and do at Custom Compact (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=2343)

that just took me about 2.5 minutes to find, all by browsing through google and the SPONSORS SECTION OF AN AE86 SITE looking for NEW AE86 PARTS.

hope this helps

Koni coilovers not cheap u would be up for $2500 plus for adjustable rebound and bump etc. But then if your full on motorpsort keen its an investment because they are fully serviceable.

But as many have mentioned AJPS seem to be the Rolla experts so why go any where else for advice ect...

my mate has a Type R and I would be more willing to see an AE86 go and the money spent on the Type R than vice Versa.

they are already a good base to start with, and they only have one down side, FWD.
