Looking To Change Over My Suspension From Coilovers To Sk Setup

[Taso84]

Yea still not sure which way to go.

Somebody suggested to me that the cheapest and maybe best option would be to replace springs on the coilovers to a softer rate and just get the struts revalved to suit the spring.

Munkeyboy, would appriate it if u let me know how ur tein SS go when u get a chance to put them on. If u were in Melb I'd have lent u my c-spanner

will do.

in the meantime, have a look at this thread.

Thanks awsome thread, now i feel like buyhing tein SS. Munkeyboy, did u get the Aus spec or Jap spec ones?

[Munkyb0y]

to be honest, i dont know. i'm assuming theyre the jap spec.

so far, i cant find how to tell the difference by looking at the part numbers/label on the actual shocks themselves.

the kit number would be different, but i dont have the kit number, because obviously, they didnt come in a box.

anyone know how to tell?

ive emailed fulcrum with the part numbers, but no reply as yet.

King springs and bilsteins would be fine. There is an Aussie distributer for bilsteins somewhere on the interwebs. I like my bilsteins a LOT, was HEAPS better than stock.

there are a few suppliers around Australia, but i beleive they all get there bilstein stock from Sydney Shocks/Heasman anyway.

as far as springs, personally id aim for a spring like the hypercoil or eibach, then get an adjustable sleeve. but if u just want a cheap street solution, kingies or whitelines are ur best bet. try and pick some up 2nd hand if ya can, they do sag, but uve got height adjustment which can take care of that.

also guys, remember to request extra circlip grooves, the standard grooves give u fark all adjustment. id ask for 2 grooves up (will get u to legal height with low springs), and 6 or so below (depends how low u wanna go).
