kangaroosa Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Pedders in Fankston did a good deal for a Member on here. I went to Pedders in Moorabbin and quoted that price, and they reluctantly obliged as i started to walk out the door and told them that i would just go Frankston if it was too hard for them. Pedders shortened my struts to suit the SV21 struts that I supplied. Supplied and welded on the coilover sleeve. Supplied and fitted springs. Total cost was $500 (technically that was trade price). The original price that i was quoted was slightly over $1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverra23 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Another option. Buy the coil over kit from Ototomoto - $300. Includes sleeve, springs, adujsters, platforms and tools. Have my mate Antony do the work for $200. You just need to work out what insert you are running and away you go. You know you could have asked all these questions in one go, and probably found all the answers with a search. Mods here don't like the same question asked 11 billion times :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverra23 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Antony welds the sleeves to your strut housing, and shortens the housing too if that is what you are after to allow lower ride height and shorter stroke shocks. Actually assembly of everything is up to you, but thats a piece of piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
