Okay, so did the coilover conversion on the front struts last week and added xt130 LCA's. Had abit of a headfuck fitting the stock strut tops to the koni shocks, but turning up a spacer fixed that. Very happy with the handling, just got to sort out the rear springs, but yeah it just sticks to road like a magnet and also have heaps more lock now with the lockstops cut off.
Picture time
Before
After
Also need to fix the toe problem these get when you lower the rear, is it as easy as an rear wheel allignment or do i have to modify something?
looks nice, did you trim the strut tube down? or were the shocks standard length?
otomoto sleeve kit?
what front tyre size are you running?
there is stock adjustment for toe but not camber.
Nah didnt cut the strut tubes down because they were standard length shock, but it would be nicer if i had short strokes.
By otomoto i mean HSD weld on sleeve kit.
Front tires are 185/60
And yeah i know that theres adjustment for the toe, but i was just wondering if the adjustment pin will have enough adjustment as it has a fair bit of toe out.
Only one way to find out i suppose, get an alignment, this will also tell u how much camber you got with the xt130 LCAs!
So just been driving this really.....
Blew the head gasket around august last year, fixed that up and she has been running sweet.
Tried some 205mm 6kg AJPS springs in the rear today, were too low and still abit soft (crappy dampers probably dont help). So just put the other springs back in for now, so would probably need something around 220-240mm and 8kg or 6kg and better shocks.
Anyway heres a pic
Also some 25-30mm bolt on spacers would be good for the rear, but doesnt worry me too much and dont really like wheel spacers...
When the head was off did u check the timing chain guides wernt broken??.
