Stivva Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Can somebody point me in the direction of some adjustable coilovers that I can bolt in. And if thats not a possibility, show me what to buy, piece by piece for the four corners and tell me who can do the weld up and installation. I would rather give someone the car and pay them to collect the parts and install them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dat2kman Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Acrow builders house props, two nuts, weld spring perch to one of the nuts. Machine ID so it just slips over strut tube. Couple spot welds top and bottom. The nuts are able to be thinned a bit, so that they have smooth flat faces. Bit rough, but somewhat low cost!

Stivva Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Not particularly looking for low cost, just for someone to do the work for me. I mean, i love to save coin, but i dont want a ghetto install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3c0y Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just send your struts to MCA and they send you back coilovers, doesnt get much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stivva Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Only problem with this MCA bloke is that the 07 number indicates he is interstate, so I can't drop the car off and pick it up complete. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/D2-Racing-RS-Coilovers-36-Way-Adjustable-70-78-240Z-260Z-280Z-Suspension-Kit-/221793747215?hash=item33a3f0010 Can I buy the above and pay someone to weld on the required parts, would that be all that I would need? Or a similar kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stivva Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yes, too hard. I don't know a mechanics that would be happy to leave the car jacked up on a hoist for roughly three weeks while the struts were out and interstate. I also live an hour away from my car and have done so now for over 12 months. I don't have a garage, a carport or a shed at my house to be able to pull the struts out. I haven't even been able to even bring the zed to my house since i moved. So yes, this is actually all to hard for me. I need to be able to drop my car somewhere and be able to pick it up completed.

Stivva Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Well, if somebody wants to donate some time and a excavator to dig me out an area for a concrete slab I could build a carport lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivva Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Another option if I could borrow a set of struts and send those to get converted into coilovers by MCA then upon completion of the build I could give the lender my old struts...

Hokin Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Fulcrum? had to send mine to Sydney for the fronts but were done within the week. That was for the bottoms to be welded onto the sleeves. Get some cheap eBay ones and send them away for them to rebuild. Leave your old ones in while you wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Just buy some struts and send them away to get done, then drop the car off to someone locally for the changeover, I think rob at the z factory had some struts for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I agree with Mossy, but even when you get a new set of coilovers, you are going to have to set all the heights and swap the brakes over etc. That in my experience is a pretty big job in itself. As with other "bolt in" options for the zed it still can take a bit of time to get it all sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBR Jeff Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yep find some struts and send them to Josh at MCA and get the job done once and done properly. Then swap them over or get a shop to swap them over and on sell yours. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

44014 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Kanden suspension in Japan make a bolt in kit. You will need to press in your stub axles and get new rear bearings. But they are as bolt in as you can get and are very high quality. You can contact Nori San through the bmd ( Barramundi design wheels ) Face book page. He speak very good English.
