Well today was a nice day, so this is the aftermarth of, a bored mechanic, a CJ Lancer and some Coilovers lol The pictures are of the coilovers at max hieght which is just a little lower than standard and at maximum dump, then the new rear strut braces, then thats it dumped to the max completely empty and hiding more sticky rubber in its holes than a female porn star, looks so good but damn the ride jolts something fierce, now thinking i need some 20's so Dave how about i drive up to The Gold Coast and we do some test fittings lol unless someone in Sydney has some.

Where did you find them? Was it a 'just you' or can anyone find them at the price you quoted?

Thanks

Well i am not 100% sure about price and you guys getting them, but i got them from Troy at Pro Speed Racing his located on the central coast, they arent advertised on his website yet but when i next talk to him i can ask him.

Well, they're cheaper than the Pedders-branded coilover list price. I guess if there is an Australian agent, ergo=service and parts, then these would be a nice addition. Great to get cheap parts, but if you cannot repair them, as no one has replacement parts, can be a right pain.

Not trying to preach to the converted, but try owning Italian bikes, with everything Brembo and Ohlins (you'd think it would be easy with those brands, but nada). Its cheaper to rebuy them new from the UK than have an Aussie rebuild them.

Any info on these coilovers would be appreciated.

Well they are an American brand, his the only importer in the country and possible southern hemisphere lol he has assured me that they are good, they have been on some subies for the past year as R&D with no troubles, and i know about getting parts for things being a mechanic i have come across the problem so many time and have great example for you if you wanna know, also worked on bikes and i know they are so much worse lol
