coilover susp kits.

[lndcrzr2@comcas]

Does anyone know which brand or where to go, Ground control , Motorsport ?? And is there a real advantage, It already handles like a go-cart with eibach springs and tokiko struts 16" panasports, I just want to lower the front more??

There is alot of work involved in setting up a set of coilovers, but it is well worth the hassle. I personally recomend Ground Control, but any kit should be just fine. Gotta remember it is nothing more than a threaded sleeve and a collar. Everybody uses the same upper spring perch and you can buy anybodys springs. Do a search on these forums for more detailed info, it has been talked about alot here, and on HybridZ.org

If you're going any lower than the aftermarket springs go, you'll probably want to section the struts to retain some bump travel.

Here's a set for less (at least at the time of this posting):

Great Stuff from Beta Motorsports. Easiest way to get to where you want to go. Coilovers already mounted on shortened struts with a selection of insert types to choose from, plus it includes SCCA Street Prepared legal Camber Plates.

How in the heck do those camber plates mount up to the shock towers. Got any pics of them mounted?

[John Coffey]

They sit underneath the top of the strut tower and are held in place by the two stainless bolts. No need to cut the towers.

I have eibach springs all round with adjustable platforms,well worth doing

those look great, but the price is so high.

Could someone give me a little "coil over 101"?

It seems to me that they are a lot like the OEM suspension that has the coil on the outside of the shock/strut mechanism.

Just curious

thanks
