kE20ME

philbey!!!

yea i luckily hunted down some gabriel ones, through sprint auto... they had like 5 books of susspension products and 4 of them had no listing for a ke1*. I'm going to run them with a ke20 spring and top hat and see how i go.. the ke20 springs are alot thicker and stiffer! will post up some pics when I'm done! :lolcry:

took one strut out last night, some of those bolts were a bitch to undo! looks like i only have one leaf at the front.. :) my strut inserts are long gone though.. probably need to replace them i reckon.. what do people run? majordad in the thread said rx7 ones fit..? might call around and bit today and see what i can find out.

thats awsome philbey!!, I'm in there on thurs night!! cheers for all the info scotty, ill have a suss and let you know how i go! :)

hell yea philbey!! :) ill hook you up with a 6 pack or whatever for them, save me going to the trouble of getting a set made up!!!

yep i reckon i will, see how it sits with the ke20 hats in there.. i found them today in the shed... get a set of spacers made up this week, then ill have somthing to do next weekend!! :) good times!

far out i completely forgot about this, reading it has got me all keen to lower the little ke again.. i have been doing a bit of research and asking around at the local auto shops, like was mentioned before seems anything pre ke20 doesn't have a listing. i am definatley not going down the cut spring / no spring track... been there before with other old school mazda's and rolla's they handel like shit and its just dodgey. at this stage i think I'm going to run a 2 inch lowering block in the back. and get some custom coilover sleaves and springs for the front and make them up. ..tempted just to do philbey's / scott's mod as i have a set of ke20 top hats lying around... and inch lower at the front may be enough? :jamie:

cheers philbey didn't relise you were up there.. the wagon wasn't there was it? spewing if it was and i didn't see it!

bay to birdwood piccs >>> and a pic of ke15 sprinter wheel i got a while back.. loving driving it again! was un-regoed for too long.. got a few small plans for her, nothing to exciting though. i just want to roll about in it around on the weekends :)

maaaaybe :P

chobis, I'm still spewing i didn't cruise up there with you guys!!! we definatley have to get all of them together again soon :)

haha dammm i wish i was there too chobis, i saw frank towards the end just as i was leaving (and changing a flat on my mates ke20) he was saying there was a group of you guys... should have cruised with you guys and got some pics... :) 6 ke1#'s in a row is somthing you don't see to often!!! :)

the bamboo one is my mates, hes not on here.. but his car is in the bay to birdwood this weekend!!!

hey mate, sorry to hear about the car... i have a clean rolling shell for sale ill bump the thread so its easy to find! :jamie:

nick i reckon i could possibly have a genuine ke20 mirror... but the super cheap ones looks just as good and are cheeeap :D have to tee up a cruise with you and jordan in his dato!! :P

that sounds alot like philbey's ke16 wagon... spotted benzo in his red ke70 wagon today on fullurton road sounds ruff as dude...
