Default True 4 Corner Coilover?



Does anyone have any info on this setup? I contacted D2 and they said the "user modified theirs to work as a coilover." I also asked the owner of the car with no reply.

there's not a whole bunch of benefit to doing this unless your goal is to replace the stock lower control arm in exchange for the CS ones. basically you replace the springs with the correct length/rate and reuse the collars that would originally be mounted on the threaded piece that goes in the spring bucket. not much to it.

i have talked with ryan on facebook a bunch because he was looking into some forgestars. you likely track him down there?

I'll try on FB thanks for the help. I had Ksport coilovers before on my old V and wanted to try this instead.

the coilover brand specifically doesn't matter much. they'll all piece together very similarly to this when you shift around the parts.
