nicedat Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hey guys and girls it's Pete from Australia just loving this forum and all the information sharing. I know there has been alot of discussion on strut sectioning and coilovers but I am looking for Aussies that have done this and where in Australia they may have sourced the parts from? Any help? Thanks Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hey Pete, Good to have another aussie on here. You can get gal threaded tube and nuts in the appropriate size from most plumbing/metal suppliers if you are looking to do this yourself. If you have access to a lathe you can then spin up the appropriate top mounts as required. Otherwise you can contact Errol Smith at http://www.datrats.com.au who I am sure can supply Noltec coil over kit conversions. Best of luck, and enjoy that Milawa wine for me.

260DET Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 The Koni threaded sleeves and nuts are also readily available, plus King make a big range of springs to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
