s130 rear coil overs finished (for 5 lug set up)

[frank280zx]

 

Well here we go the generics are on the back , I use re valved koni adjustable for this.

One ifs fully extended the other dropped to the max. for reference.

 

This gives me nice control.

The ebay sleeves where machined and a 2,5 CM spacer was made to get the right amount of adaptation.

 

Here is a detailed shot of the machined ring.

 

The set up does require some minor details but i have faith in the fact it will work out for what i am looking for.

 

The fronts will get a sleeve welded over the strut housing. pics of that will follow as soon as i get them done.

 

sofar am happy with rear set up. Ebay generic crap seems to work great as long as you have access to a machine shop for some tweaking.

Thank you FrankW for helping!

How did you make the flange for the bottom?

[frank280zx]

The flange whas made on a lathe,

They are OBX but it is prolly made by the same Chinese slave labour workers , spring rates are ( after measuring in a press) 304 left front and 301 r Front

276 R rear and 273 L rear High rates but i like a stiffer set up in high speed corners better

 

However if you buy these and do NOT have access to a machine shop .. DO NOT BUY THESE!!!! or settle for work around

 

Next to that do NOT expect the best quality etc.. for me this is a pure test set up.. I solely use these in the rear the front sleeves and rings are better quality, though i would not hesitate to use these.. good thing is that you can buy brand name springs on ebay and the hardware is good enough!

 

cost so far USD 70 for the set up and a 6 pack for the machine work.
