kings for the ae92, are 240lb/" front and 165lb/" rears which i know wont cut on the track :worship: i was looking at some custom made spring with my choice of spring rate :y:

 

You could get custom made ones from Industrials in Adelaide.

 

Only thing is you need short stroke shocks to go with it, and by the time you add all that up you are into coilover territory money wise.

Pedders extreme XA coil overs to suit AE101 , don't know if its been mentioned on here but front brake upgrade for AE92/93 DBA709 front rotor for a AE102 Sprinter which is 255 dia and a SV21 Camry caliper bolts straight up , makes a good cheap conversion with better stopping

that is who i was planning on getting my springs from :hmm: as for short stroke shocks i will depends on how low i go which wont be any lower than my car currently is, plus the bonus of the ae92 sx fronts struts is they have inserts that can be replaced/rebuilt, and i can gut the sx rear wet legs and convert them to accept an insert as well, i just wont have the height adjustability which is not huge concern. but i will have to look into the pedders coilover as a possible alternative.

 

money wise it wont be as cheap as the d2/g4 etc etc coilovers, but also wont be as expensive as cusco or teins currently are

would have been just as easy to use the front from an gti/seca built after june/july 1991 as they have a 258dia rotor of the same thickness as the ae102 :P

 

but it does make a decent alternative to those who can't find the s2 brakes from the gti/seca :jamie:

Std AE92 strut is a sealed strut can't replace the insert , DBA709 cost 70 bucks and 2nd hand sv21 caliper cost bugger all !!!

out of the factory the sx/sx seca/gti had inserts in the front struts, rears are a fully sealed unit, so unless the front had been replace with aftermarket struts, it should be a insert :jamie:

Car looked good on the weekend at Winton. How did you go?

Ill reboot the thread

 

Nice build, I'm currently building an CXT Seca replica its a slow process but I'm getting there will keep tabs on this thread.

 

Have you looked into fitting a 3sge??

Non variable higher rate springs wont sag as much under the weight of the car so the car will sit higher as a result. Therefore you need shorter springs for a higher rate and without short stroke shocks then you will run into captivity issues if you want it to sit at a good height.
