My Koni Coilover build
My Koni Coilover build Finally got around to getting my coilver stuff all together and made it happen
parts list:
koni sports adjustable shocks
http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...5&autoModClar=
2 Strut mounts with washers
ENS-3-6110R RED COIL SPRING ISOLATOR x1@ $11.99
HAL-7888-109 COIL OVER BEARING KIT x1@ $25.95
HAL-12-350 12" long x 2.5" ID # SPRING x2@ $47.99 (each)
Its best to to measure youre strut I.D first and order accordingly but this a general measurement
A1 Racing:
A1-12452-H 5" x 2.17" Coilover Sleeve x2@ $18.40 (each)--Verify your Strut housing I.D FIRST!!!!
A1-12460 Coilover Sleeve Nut x2@ $12.87 (each)
my inspiration came from this thread..http://www.clubgp.com/cgi-asp/mods.asp?modid=4
I had a set of KYB AGX's that were blown already so i figured **** it. and hacked them open.
Of course strut mounts need to be modified accordingly see this thread
http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.as...mode=1&smode=1
As for the build there were a couple of hickups but nothing major.
Modified strut mount
Strut housings cut open with compression/alignment ring shown
VERY IMPORTANT **when you first cut the strut make sure you cut it to where you can achieve this I.D 48MM you insert the ring and press shock all the way through
Drilled hole in the bottom for nipple** you dont have to have this welded back if you want you could use the supplied screw that will secure it to the body however i wanted the extra suspension travel and chose to have it welded on the bottom.
Use your 14mm washers like so and stack your sway bar poly bushings like so. -you will have to ream out the poly bushings to fit over the strut shaft
Total weight 18lbs
Finished!!
