Anyone know where I can purchase dms coilovers?

[Dorio86]

I can't seem to find a distributor

dms do not make straight coilovers for the ae86.

[Dorio86]

Thanks......




By the way, they do make coilovers for the ae86
code:ECS-TOY-AE86-40A AE86 40mm Gold

[mc68]

well ill be f***ed!

cheers dude...all the times i checked in the stock book it hd nothing of the sort under toyota

[Dorio86]

mc68: . Are they short stroke? and how low can I go without damping the shock?

[mc68]

depends if they are tarmac or dirt spec dude.

oh..40mm are street...you can go...

(i dont know!!)

all the 40's ive put on havent been rediculously low...but have been quite dumped..with no side effects...

so short...they are top quality dude...you wont do any damage...unless its scraping...that will damage any coilover in the long run.

[Dorio86]

I just want it low like Josh or Yates sprinters.

Last question, what are the measurements for these struts and how are you supposto convert the rear to support the coilovers?

[mc68]

ring up dms dude.

i was also thinking if the fronts were coil over spring...then maybe the back would be...or maybe not..

ps, low like josh's etc will be fine.

[Dorio86]

For a customer representative he sure didn't know much.

I asked him the measurements of the strut and he said "I have it on file, but why do you want to know that?" , anyway, the DMS struts are 30mm shorter than factory.


Then I asked him if the rear coilovers need any modification to install as the factory shocks and springs are separate. He told me to ring noltec, noltec told me to ring back to DMS to ask if these rear coilovers are made to suit the sprinter. Like these:
DMS said no, but "if you want to we can give you the coilovers separate with springs.
So I rang noltec again, they said that the best thing to do is a setup like this as they have never actually done a rear coilover convertion. noltec said that this was for a racing car (sounded more like drag to me) and didn't know if this is suited for drifting.

Another thing that came to mind was isn't the adjustment for bump and rebound at the bottom of the coilover, so how am I supposto adjust the thing . Also the rear shocks or coilovers are supposto have a bolt at the bottom .

Any information appreciated
