bLinded_ Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Hey Mike, I would suggest making your own by using a coilover kit and just getting some decent shocks. The price you pay for new coilovers, you can do it for much less if you do it yourself. Though, if you still want to buy them new, Aye Jay Pee S make them ands sell them for around $1000 clams if I remember correctly. But as said, AE86DC is your best bet when looking to get some coilovers. Good luck. :party: Edited April 6, 2009 by bLinded_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Why spacers? because the shocks are really short so you use a little spacer to bring them up to the top of the strut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey_m Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I was hoping not to have to got to too mich effort, but we have decided to make our own. Running XT130E Struts Converted with STEEL coilover kit, twin locking perches usual drill here, captive spring 5k main springs. Shocks (I get really cheap discounts through a friend) so until I finish making up my mind here will be using Monroe GT Gas Shocks (Short Stroke) Noltec Camber/Castor Tops Sumiato Calipers (Thanks be to BLinded for those) DBA Slotted Rotors and EBC Green Stuff Pads (For Now at local club level, will go to Reds once we get into the forest) Note we are not lowering the vehicle, so should be an easy one, this is a PRC Rally Vehicle so hence why we are not lowering.
