I would say Wholesale suspension in Penrith to fit/weld them.

Nice work Tomsun!!!

For the sydney siders.

May I suggest, Peter at Road and Race in Rydalmere to install and setup the coilovers.

Thrash there is actually 5 people in Sydney with these coilovers :P

After seeing these in the flesh i have to say i am very impressed with the quality and design of them.

As most of you Sydney siders will need cutting/welding and installation, John and i may have another alternative for you.

John's set will be welded and installed this week, so we can post some pics, and let you decide if you would be interested in having them done by the same guy.

Very keen to see any pics you take, even of the cut fronts before the welding is done will be helpful.
Also very reassuring to have your positive opinion on the quality too.

hey will probably be keen for a set down the line, reckon another group buy will be in the works?

i dont like how these are welded to the cast steel at the base of the strut....

NXTIME · Post by **NXTIME** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 8:55 pm

As others have suggested, they should also have a plug weld through them. I have seen the D2 coilovers and I think they are great.

Good job, Tomsun. I am sure that there will be another group buy.
Thanks for the chat, too :beer

They're supposed to be welded to the tube not the cast section

Yep, cast iron can get a bit brittle(?) when welded...

MrBishi · Post by **MrBishi** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 6:36 am

The spindles are not cast iron. They are cast steel which can be welded easily.
Moot point as you are really welding to the steel tube.
There is no stress on this weld as the forces are dealt with by the tube in tube action.

Photo's of Coilover mod to front struts

front spring height 170mm between bottom of top mount and top adjusting nut

from the top of the spring base to top of the strut tube 95mm

ride hight from ground to guard 605mm, 30 lower than standard

remove the inner camber adjusting bolts and move to the next hole, adjust the camber to maximum negative, this will give you 1.5 degrees camber

i have done the rears, will post the measurements later
