Hey Folks, Does anyone make decent coil-overs for an AE86 any more, struggling to much in Google or the forums.

Yeah I could get 2nd hand ones, they don;t seem to come up often, but was more thinking about new ones, which manufacturers make them any more?

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:

Hey mate ive got some brand new ones laying around that i aquired from a j p s, PM if your interested

 

all high end performance parts and lables :P

buy the coil over sleeve set, springs and keeper springs and top hats. ae92 shocks fit the struts. shorten the strut by 40mm and wack some 20mm spacers in the bottom. all done!

Why spacers?

Why spacers?

because the shocks are really short so you use a little spacer to bring them up to the top of the strut

Now I follow, Cheers

if your in brisbane call slydar (dimitri ) he can modify xt130 or ra 40 to coilover for around $1000

with new springs in your choice of spring rate , and new steel collars and retainers and new adjustable strut inserts etc

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.

I can also convert coil-overs over cheaply. Whats your location?
