what about the rears?!

DerekDorifto · 09-14-2002, 12:42 AM

Nice work Nick! Need a hand to install them? I've got it down to about 20 mins per side with my fronts now...

mr_sinister · 09-14-2002, 12:43 AM

what about the rears?

hardly anyone runs rear coilovers on the ae86.. i've have seen pics of such contraptions, but they're not very common..

Ground Control only sells front coilover kits, so no rears.

don't tellme the price includes the GC coilovers

mr_sinister · 09-14-2002, 12:54 AM

those are pics of nick's personal coilovers, not the ones he's selling (seeing as how those ones aren't even made yet)..

mr_sinister · 09-14-2002, 12:57 AM

and yeah, those strut casings are for use with short strokes, because they are shortened casings..

fatredcircle · 09-14-2002, 08:28 AM

thanks randy for hosting the pics.....

cyril: the $350 does not include the price of the coil over kit. Sorry, but the coilover kit from GC costs $400 cdn after taxes, customs and shipping.

the $350 is only for the serivice of cutting, welding, and painting of the casing. for $750 cdn, i'll be more than wiling to make a pair or for $675, i can use your existing strut casings.

like i said, i'm not really in it to make cash, but its a service i can provide for those that wish to do the conversion.

likewise, if you have hookups on a welder or the tools needed, i'd say go and do it yourself....it will be a lot cheaper.

Nick

that's what i thought you said in your other post

knew i was a dreamin :P

martiniracing · 09-14-2002, 01:08 PM

if somebody will make the rears too, that would be sweet!

fatredcircle · 09-14-2002, 01:30 PM

the only place that can get rears...that i know of...are tony jspec and bill sherwood in austrailia.

a couple of Japanese tuners also make them...but they are extremely costly!!!!!

for the ae86, you DON"T need rear coilovers....height adjustablity has never really been a real issue for the rears as it really only mattered to N2 spec racers and the like who NEED to dial in accurate damper/suspension settings.

i garauntee you, 90% of ae86'rs who run coilovers...do not have them for the rears.
