AE86 Coilovers....

[goodcookiedrift]

After a 20 min flight, a good wait at London Municipal Airport and socializing with London's local Mexican and Lauren, the official scrap yard hick, I was able to hook up with Randy to pull off the struts off the smashed ae86.

The day went well, as we pulled the parts off pretty fast, cleaned them up and bagged them...ready to be sent home on yet another 20min flight.

Anyhow, thanks randy for taking some time out the day to help on the pull. and a 'right on' to Lauren who helped us with his impact wrench and gave us a schooling on fishing, cheap Chevy durability, Asian work ethic and why NOT to drink too much early on in life.

The struts are being cut right now as i'm expecting the GC coilovers anytime soon. once completed, i will post pics.

Hell ya it was expensive, but worth it if you're looking for one of the best setups. Actually, Moto has a similar setup, but with GC coilovers.

left over paint from the supra rims?

[goodcookiedrift]

actually...i never thought of that...but no. i just went to crappy tire and looked for the dopest colour that would match the GC.

i'll be running, GC coils w/ 7kg/mm and CMR 6.8 kg/mm on TRD Short Strokes (Tokico HTS come October) with BV 40mm NCRA'S.

Because the project turned out so good, i'm offering the above setup (minus the ncras and shocks) for $800 including your strut casing.

for $950, i'll throw in short stroke shocks.

Some of you will say that dudes in the states are selling them for $350 - $600 though.

FYI

1) thats in american prices

2) taxes have yet to be added on

3) customs has yet to be added on

4) shipping has yet to be added on

my price is $800 cdn.

i'm not sure i understand. you going to sell GC coilsleeves (plus the labour of cutting, welding, painting of the strut casing) for $800 or $950 with SHOCKS??? or is that an additional $950 for the shocks or is that for the $150 price difference you meant that you're throw in strut casings?
