HSD coilovers for ae86

[sundee]

Sorry fantapants id just like you to point out for me the part where i said building a home made pair of coilovers was cheap??
I did say however

[biggo]

I think you fail

BC are weld on, HSD are a complete assembly not a kit like BC/G4/D2

i edited it after giving it a reread the bit in the brackets and the bit down the bottom on reason for editing

i'm down with any company that produces NEW stub axles for quarter century old cars.

be happy there is still an aftermarket!

new - open box, install. done.

[biggo]

So true. And its in your own country no less!

Well with the home made set-up it's the best quality shock compared to something cheaper from china like in the hsd. I feel I would rather spend the money on the best quality stuff for a custom setup than a lil more to get the Chinese set from hsd.

Thought HSD are made in Korea?

i really dont think the dampners in the hsd are sub par to a trd/agx/hts.. pretty sure the hsd shox are totally serviceable. hts are definately not.

i would tend to agree. you can get the same performance from the normal coil over style, the platform ajustment isnt all that neccesary. youll probably only ever adjust it once.

also pete..

pretty sure that was a jab at me pete.

ill bite

yes there was a batch that werent a tight fit. i spoke to the supplier about it and its just a case of them sourcing material from one of 2 places. either way, it shouldnt matter. you can leave the but joined weld a little proud and that will center it. etc. the ones im about to use on my own car are from that batch.

as for the springs being short. well theyre going into corollas.. how much travel do you think you need? i order them shorter for this reason. having the spring higher gives more room for wider rims/ high offset rims too. plus its lighter. you cant cure spring float with a longer spring, you need helpers.

also.... theyre cheap. ill say it right now. koni sleeves are better quality. but mine work, and im able to sell whole front coilovers built with agx inserts for less than $900. front coilovers are pretty much the most drastic change you can make to your car. there are other things that are important, but coilovers are the most expensive. reducing the price of coilovers as much as possible really cant hurt.

anyway totally O.T.

i wasnt jabbing at you d, i was just saying bc is clearly different sourcing.

[slydar]
