peteretep Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 how much did those coilovers set you back? please dont say you spent $2900 on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkcortina Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 close. It was abit cheaper as i already had the capri struts. I priced up getting all the parts and it wasnt much cheaper to do it myself. The struts have been shortened by about 50mm so i can have it low with still alot of travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 did you look at those gaz struts from the uk? they should only be around 1k landed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durty Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 yeah, you can buy the threaded sleeve and platforms etc for not very much moneys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkcortina Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 its the bilstien inserts and the camber tops that cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 i just cant believe that it would take him $900 for tools and $2000 for building them, thats like paying him $50 an hour and it takes him a 40 hour week to build them, especially as he would surely have a jig set up for doing them in saying that, i just bought a nolathane gearbox mount off him off him and have bought several other items off him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
