Hi all,

Getting ready to purchase coil overs for my 89 model and thought I'd see if any are available used before I buy new.

Anyone wanna sell a set?

Cheers,

Why you changing to coilovers? Maybe get a set of say BC BR's & get custom springs made for them so they're not as harsh.

Knightrous had a set of factory struts converted to a HSD coilover spring setup, ping him to see if it's still for sale? He offered me them earlier this year but I declined since I was after a more streetable aftermarket suspension setup. Rear had sleeves for height adjustment, front's had a removable spacer.
 
The beauty of his setup is replacement springs are relatively cheap, so you can play with spring rates.

I've actually decided to keep them for my Supercharged AW11 :)

Fair enough, thought it was worth a mention, hence why I mentioned to see if they were still for sale.
 
Still waiting for you to get said supercharged AW11 on the road :P

Sorry for the delay in responding. My account was dead for a few days.
 
Thinking of going coilovers for a couple of reasons.
  1. My current GAB adjustable shock inserts are dead or dying. They are likely very old.
  2. I wouldn't mind being able adjust the height myself as any lowered spring for the AW11 is not designed for the heavier 3sgte & E153. Plus I'm also planning to tow occasionally so some temporary extra rear height or damping might come in handy.
  3. So I can get it looking fully sick and get the stance and camber just right :)

I'm thinking BC's with 4kg front and 6kg rear instead of the 5kg/8kg they come standard with.

Just check if your warranty is covered with the softer springs on the BCs. When I asked they weren't very excited about warranting the shocks with lower spring rates.
