Stagea G4 Coilovers

[mitchy_]

coilovers arrived friday, and fitted them to kylies car yesterday.

they feel firmer, but not uncomfortable, corners without feeling like its going to barrel roll off the road, but best of all its not lift kit spec anymore... it now scrapes on speed bumps, etc!

just be careful though, if you order some, specify they have a 90mm PCD rear top hat, as we got sent the wrong top hats, and i had to modify the top hats from the stock shocks onto them. (surely we dont have the first RS4 stagea with G4's??)

all up, for the smoother ride, lowered height, and better handling, it was well worth the $1399 they cost.

pics to follow shortly.

pillowball tops= adjustable camber/castor?

thinking of ditching my bilsteins for teins, wondering if these would be a better buy.

definatley looks the same, are they serviceable? not shure what condition there going to be in. im guessing their full adjustable? how do they rate in comparison to other brands

looks very pimpin now Kylie with it lowered, definately noticed when i installed my bilsteins the handling is absolutely incredibile and i couldnt believe a big heavy wagon could handle like it does

you better be making an appearance at the next WA cruise with Mitchy so we can check it out

[IMPORTD]

thanks Brad..

I'll cruise along if its still here otherwise it may be in a supra

[Tangles]

looks fantastic.

seems a good price - is that for adjustable shocks and springs ?

Im happy with my Bilsteins though.... very smooth ride using stnd springs

For the Ohlins suspension, jippa, IMO the brand is the best in the world when it comes to adjustable shocks. definately servicable for sure. get em regassed and enjoy the ride.

yep, height and damper adjustable.

ohlins is the the shiz when it comes to suspension.. definately get them serviced

[jippa]

tahnks for the info.. knew about ohlins through motorbike suspension and thought they were good.. kylie, car looks way hot now shes a bit lower.. shure u wanna sell her?

any idea on what a service would cost?

Looks great. I've been looking into getting these so let us know how the ride is after a couple of weeks with them.

Also how much lower do u think u could get the stagea from the pics above??

[IMPORTD]

fronts can be lowered another 30mm, and the rears about 200mm lower :pimpin:

And Dale I will make sure I bring my ACDC album just for you

Fuzzy it handles really well. Alot tighter around the bends. If I still have the car in a few weeks I'll give you an update. If you do get them, just make sure you check the top hat dimensions in the rear. Mine is 90mm and its oval shaped. but apparently round will fit.

Jippa I have fallen in love with her again, but I'm kinda looking forward to a two door where I can reach the roof to wash her without standing on the rims or a bucket

when i got my rig the first time it was sitting at 355mm from the center of the hib to the guard. After i swap over to the TEIN HA coilovers i raised it all 4 wheels to 360mm and its perfect for me. Not too low ETC. And the ride is exceptinally good for it . Liked it very much. O would assume that the blisteind from SK will have a better ride though. I dont know about the G4s. Should ask how many chambers and valve they have in the shock absobers for the G4 and how many valve. The more chamber and valving you have the better the ride is. Firm but not hard when you have more chambers and valves. Less chanbers and valve will have a rougher ride. Thus the blistein will have better peformance.

I have a 4wd lancruiser 100 series and i swapped it over to the blisteinf from the original Toyota shock and alot of improvement in the ride and handling qualities.

I bought the blistein from our company's spare parts supploer and he said in his 25 years experience in his field not 1 person have asked for blistein shock absober until he met me!!
