    What make is that rear coilover with the 8 way adjustment ? It looks like a r32 front converted with a smaller diameter bush at the diff end

    Also wondering how it clears the small tower on the body since there is no spacer there ? any pictures of that fitted anyone

    I will add to this thread at the end of the month when i will make some rear coilovers up

    Keep the info coming

    the d2 kit is rubbish. the front insert is super short stroke but the body is standard lenght. pretty much youll have f*** all suspension travel. they all intend for you to just sit there threaded spring pearch ontop of the stock one. this will be fine but its a lame way to do it.

    the prices you quoted seem like youre doing quite well. you should be able to do the conversion cheap than most. a GOOD exhaust should can do the cutting and welding for you. its really not very hard.

    as for rears. "best" ones youre showing are revolver. ant has them in his car. youre right they kick arse.

    i think its important to isolate the spring force away from the shock shaft and direct it into the body. everything else is pretty self explanitory.

    i gots the rear coilovers from Fulcrum ATM, they seem okay but i havent driven on others, so its hard to tell.

    i should have T3 shit all up in my rig soon so will tell ya how that goes, rear coilover and all.

    anyone know bout strengthening the rear shock mount on the diff, it looks a bit on the smallish side to be supporting the whole rear of the car.
