interested as well...those look damn sexy...and for the price...(sighs then drewls)

You have Koni Yellows? Man, they haven't made those in YEARS for a 1st gen...

 

lol, i got this car already modded from a friend, chances are good that the shocks are almost as old as the car, and i might have to have them rebuilt, but i'll find out when i take it apart...

 

Yeah. That's my favorite thing about Koni's...
Re-buildability...

 

hey guys, just an update. I've ordered a set of springs that should show up this friday (fingers crossed) If it does, I'm probably going to be installing it with a friend's help over this coming weekend, along with feedback and pictures. After that, and being able to make sure that this will fit the koni (the machinist have tokicos, so we know they fit those already) and if you guys are still seriously interested, I'll ask the machinist about the lead time on getting some made. Though he might want a deposit.

I'll let you guys know friday whether the springs shows up.

Sounds good...

 

I'm still in for this, get more impressed with every post, built in caster damn.

 

I'd definitely be down, I'm sure he'd have no problem getting 5 orders at that price. I just added up the cost of collars/camber plates/turn-in spacers from Mazdatrix and G-Force, it would cost $544, almost twice as much!!

 

do you have to buy the whole set or would he sale the spring perches seperate? if so, whats would the rate be? i already told btwaits id get a set of his caster camber plates

 

I'm not sure the respeed plates and these perches would be compatible, it will depend on what kinda diameter spring they were planning to use. These (let's call them beelines (the name of the machinist's shop) uses 2 1/4 springs.

I think this is without springs...?

 

yeah, springs are not included, mostly so people can run whatever spring rate you want. You can get a set of springs from eibach shipped for about 110-120.

When you a Ground Control coilover kit can you specify the spring diameter? As I understand the Ground Control kit for first gens is 2.5, where this is 2.25.

 

Are you talking about ordering springs from Eibach to fit the coil-overs...?

They have any size you'll need.

 

yes, eibach/gc have various diameter, lenght, and spring rate for almost any application.

 

any update, I'm flat out excited by these. I need to get a life......

 

well, i just tracked my package, and the spring should be here tomorrow, just need to get my act together and start working on it...

 

 

bump

 

ok, i guess i'll give an update. I've taken my suspension apart. I'm going to run the fronts to my friends shop to use the spring compressor, then to the machine shop to have the front strut shaft turned down a bit (this is required step for even the ground control plates) then i should be able to start reassembly and take pictures, but everything looks like they'll fit just fine, i should have more info by thursday or friday. I'm trying to get everything ready for the next autox in two weeks, so you guys will definitly have more info soon...

Alvin

 

Cool!

 

Take photos of the install steps for us please.

 

Is the time for jumping on the band wagon all gone? I could use a set if they are still for sale.

 

They're not for sale yet... Zyrano is our guinea pig
