You could try PMing Driftmotion. I think he had a set or 2 knocking about. Not sure what price they were though.

I have two options for you. I do have a complete set of standard ones with one of the backs with a slight weep. Or I do have a set of coilovers on the car,mix of Teins rear and not sure on the fronts but they are blue with red springs. they are fully adjustable in height and softness but the rears although set at a good ride height need some work to get the adjusters any higher. Look at my orange thread and you will see the final ride height which is pretty spot on. I did have a go to loosen the collars and they will move but to be honest they are just perfect in height where they are. Other than that they are in excellent condition.
I may be persuaded to part with them as I want to get some new ones that give me a bit more softness for the roads round here as we have the crappiest roads in the UK, in a cab you feel everything!!

Just PM me and we can talk what you want to do but I only have a short time left before I am out the country. I can get them to you for about £15.

Whats the budget Lee.
 
JIC
Ohlins
Tanabe
Zeal
Aragosta
 
but all very expensive.
 
We could get Nitron, Eibach or Gaz to build you bespoke set but again not cheap.
 
Another set up i was talking to Clive about was a Koni adj damper, not ride hight, then a combination of springs and roll bars. Would work very nicely as an all round package on a track.

ha ha ha ha !! cheers pete !!

it depends on how many pennies you want for them and how much it would lower the entire car

Post by: pdtaylor18 on June 10, 2009, 10:22:04 AM
It can lower the car by as much as you want but see how my orange FC sits at present and that will be as they are now. As for pennies then not a great deal for what they are but taking into account they are fully adjustable but the rear collars do need some work to get them to move freely but collars for Teins are freely available and quite cheap to replace.
Probably after about £250 as they stand. Plus postage of about £15 anywhere in UK.
