AE and KE Rear coilover questions

[kaibeecee]

everyones over thinking it.

i wouldn't use a heim joint on the diff side cause the NVH would be horrible and it would flog out quick.

65mm OD springs work fine, you just have to elongate the top hole a bit.

[Sam-Q]

not from what I measured, ok maybe if the spring has only a 100mm free height or you have hella offset. My tape measure says there just isnt the room under there, I spend a good 20 min trying to work out if I could do it

did you strengthen any of the mounts ?

[Gunner]

how did they go with fitting and shit lazy? worth the coin so far?

[Delazy]

not my pics...only installed pics ive found...

my car is further away from being finished than anyones build that hasnt even been started yet lol...

lengthy discussions with a couple people running them and no1 has strengthend any of the mounting points...body nor diff side...

darren mcnamara has given them a hell of a work out in his ireland based car which is now being rebuilt into the NFS/speedhunters 13b powered ae86...

no issues...good enough for me...

none the less my car will be seam welded/caged and for peace of mind the shock mounting points will have some work done...

[Gunner]

thought that undercarriage was a bit too grubby to be yours.

[ke_70]

yeah thats the setup i was getting. thank lazy for the hook up also

[Delazy]

hahah werd...id be embarrassed if mine looked like that when finished...

although mine would prolly look worse than that is current guise
