As promised more updates, been going pretty hard lately and don't plan on stopping till she's done! My M14 fine cap screws arrived on Saturday morning so James and I tapped out the caliper mounting eyes on the strut to suit. Got a rough mock up done but just need to enlarge the center hole on my rotors so that I bolt them to the back of the hubs and get a better idea on how things will look. Also mocked assembled a strut to show where the adjustable sleeve will sit can't wait to get it back on the ground super slammed. Still waiting on some welding but taking care of other bits and pieces in the mean time. Also may have a solution to my fuel line woes but will keep that hush hush for now.

Those coilovers are sick, where'd you get all the bits for them?

[Datto_610]

Sleeves and nuts are from Stocks, springs, keeper springs, spring seats are from Autolign, camber plates are S13 ones with a bush made to fit the insert. But talk to James as he has found a kit that includes pretty much everything bar camber plates for a very sharp price. We added up what I had spent on my parts and it got rather ridiculous.

Doesn't look like you much much travel on them greg.

You might have the same issue as me where the car sits on the bump stops

It looks worse in the picture than it actually is because the spring is super super long.

my Z probably only has 2" at the shock before it hits the bump stop ,but you have to remember that with increased spring rates you don't use up so much travel. And the fact that the wheel travels further than the shock does means on even the roughest roads you won't bottom.

I used the Jamex kit on the Z, came with 2" tubes nuts, locknuts, main springs keeper spring and spring separator. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 868297.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

this is the kit installed >

I think we added up Gregs bits into the $450 range, plus the Jamex kit gives you a dust boot cover too
