Gday again guys, ive found some suspension for sale for my HC Cosmo Luce, and was wondering if anyone was able to translate the Add a bit better then the language translator..

In particular, anything to do with shock/spring brands or height adjustment?

thanks for any help!

They're just standard used struts with different (maybe lowered) springs... he says that the although the struts are used, just think of them as a free gift witht the springs attached, so you're just bidding for the springs really. He doesn't say much about the springs... but I'll hazard a guess and say that they're probably "low down" about 20mm or more lower than stock with a firmer rate.

If bidding goes much higher than 30,000 yen, I'd hold out for a proper set of coil overs... but then it depends on how much you've got to spend. Good coil overs from Yahoo kinda start at the 50 - 60,000 yen bracket, but then again thats for ultra-popular cars. Because you've got a Luce, the local guys here know how hard it is to get good used stuff for it, so every time you bid it might end up with the price getting blown out, I don't know.

[MrCosmo]

Yeah thats the problem with having a not so popular car.

Thanks for that...

I noticed some other lowered springs for sale there on some sort of special for about 8-9000 yen.

Id love coil overs, or atleast some better quality gear, for the right stuff id probably pay up to 1000AUD all up.

I just saw the shocks and springs together and my eyes lit up coz shocks have been the hardest things to find so far... a *few* places have springs available

Does anyone know of other sort of second hand performance parts or suspension places which might be of any use? similar to our like option1garage in Australia, but in japan?

cheers.

trouble with coilovers, wheels, anything heavy - postage gets prohibitive at that weight (for a yahoo purchase - could well cost more than the auction item).

[MrCosmo]

Yeah i have found that to be the case also.

Springs which were approximately 120AUD look to cost me about 280 to get to my door... unless anyone else thinks they can do better for me hehe?

However even for 280 im struggling to find any springs of the same specs in Australia.... and for equipment such as coilovers, the only option here is to have some made up by say whiteline or bilstein for example... and that would be way more expensive then something decent + shipping off yahoo.

Speaking of wheels, does anyone know who would be good to go thru and approximate shipping costs for a complete set of wheels? I was thinking probably in the order of 4-500 bux?

cheers

[MrCosmo]

Hey again guys, looks like i have some springs lined up.

As far as shocks, im still stumped... monroe and pedders are the only local brands ive found and they are both not that great and terribly overpriced! :bonk:

Ive heard a brand called Tanabe makes shocks for the HC3S Luce??

I have no idea how or where to find this out or going about possibly getting some.

Can anyone help me out with a site or even a number or any info on the shocks and getting them?

cheers

Alex.

[DaiOni]

the tanabe site is listed in the links sticky - check it out

(I gave up on the site because all the flash sh1t gave me a headache)

[MrCosmo]

Cheers for that mate, i had a look but there doesnt appear to be any info on car availability or purchase etc.

hehe and yeah theyve gone a bit nuts with the flash!!!

Does anyone know who would be best to go thru as far an importer for buying parts like this and springs from yahoo?

cheers
