the info in this thread isnt that old so should be relative.....generally 8Kg fronts and 6kg rears are a good softish spring rate to go for....it really depends on how your damper settings are setup.....to stiff you will get a rock hard ride and then too soft can be bouncy.....roughly somewhere in the middle should be ok :blink:

Well i just got off the phone with car torque and pedder's on marion rd and they are no go option.. car torque sends coilovers to fulcrum for a quote and an opinion whether coils can be rebuilt or not and just for that u gotta pay freight about $40 to be sent to fulcrum and $40 to be sent back.. And pedder's well,they said they dont do it and dont know who does it here in adelaide... sad.gif

yeah i believe there used to be a bloke at Pedders who did it for them, but he may have since moved on. Why dont you ring Fulcrum up and see if you can get cheaper freight direct through them?

Im not that keen to send them interstate. I got in contact with Jarrod and he said that he moved on (i think he worked for pedder's) but he does sell kit to repair yourself,and he said its preety straight forward to do it and takes couple hrs to do set of 4 :) so might try that...

why may i ask? it wouldn't cost that much i think i just sent some to Sydney and it cost $32 for the whole set

if your worried about the incompetence of our Postal worked insure them for $2500 that will ensure they either look after them or if they do loose them (you can only hope) you will be fully reimbursed

i had that happen with a brand new $800 gfx card that they lost and i was sending it back for RMA

Cz i spoke to someone from car torque and i asked if they can tell me how much would cost for freight to fulcrum and repair etc. he said hes not sure and price may warry depending on whats wrong with coilovers. I just dont want everything to adds up and to comes up to price where ill be better off getting new coils... but i guess if i ring fulcrum like Damo_R34 said or even this guy Murray and talk to them then ill have better idea what to do :)

      WTB RB25 Gearbox NSW / central west

      Agree with Rob. I recently did mine and replacing with a brand new unit made the most sense compared with rebuilding my existing gearbox.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
