Lowering my AE86

[Danish-Drifter]

Hi I'am from denmark, and I need some help to get my ae86 lowered. In denmark there not many parts for my car. The only thing we can by is -35mm lowering springs. So maybe you can help me, were can I buy some parts to get the car lowered. Maybe Coilovers, or springs? Or what do you do in your country? Hope its ok i write to you.

Hope to hear from you, and you can understand my bad english:-)

Regards Jack Frandsen(denmark)

most common form of lowering product in aus is a state of the art tool known as a 'angle grinder' wich makes your springs one way adjustable, especially used by tight arse drifters. give it a go.

Angle grinder can be found at a hardware store (place where u buy tools).. Or if you want proper suspension go to www.ajps.com.au and im sure dave will ship anything to u.

Also, to keep mods cheap. Go to a local suspension shop first. Ask for a set of coil over coils, spring seats and top hat. Depending on how low and stiff you want you car you can get different spring lengths and weights. Any suspension shop (within reason) or engineer shop can fit these to a set of standard Ae86 sruts.

For the rear you can get custom springs made for any height and weight. The hardest part is to try and find shocks to match the height and weight of spring that you choose. Good way to get info is go to a big suspension chain store, ask questions and then go find the parts you want from someone who wont charge an arm and a leg.

If this doesn't work than look at importing some stuff from another country.

www.ajps.com.au is a good starting point.

Good Luck

Hehe i looked up what "angle grinder" means, i'm not the best english writer/understander. But my springs are allready cuttet with an angle grinder.

Mad Rs - "Go to a local suspension shop first. Ask for a set of coil over coils, spring seats and top hat." hehe we just dont have suspension shops in denmark... :-( The only only suspension things we can buy is springs, and some models we can by coil overs to.... Stupid litle country...

Truenosedan, I wiil look at you website and drope you a mail :-)

can't you get stuff from sweden? its like across the sea or river or what ever

Also Denmark isn't far from the UK or Ireland. I know the Ae86 arn't cheap over there but maybe you can track down some cheap parts. What you need is a custom coilover set, custom rear springs and a set of front and rear short stroke shock absorbers.
