E70 suspension TRd and short stroke questions

[thatoreoguy]

So I am trying to recreate my awesome suspension on my Orange ae86 in my e70

I had 8kg/6kg with (yellow) short strokes of some sort in the front (ae92???)

Rear had trd springs and 8 way adj trd greens

Just wondering if you have suggestions as the e70 is tad lighter. I am open to new combos and might even lighten it up and go 6/4 ... Thoughts ??? also part numbers???

I can find stuff in japan just suck at finding it in north America.

I'm also thinking of picking up some cheap yahoo coil overs and shipping them over. Just buy fresh shocks if they are needed. anyone else want a set ?

You'll be low on power and probably have more fun on 8-6.

My Alto at 1200lbs is on 7-7. It's retarded, and I hate it, but it handles amazing.

You're ordering stuff from yahoo auctions in japan? I may be interested in a thing or two.

Yeah but im going to go over and pick it up. Protip Golf bags are great for shipping suspension on the cheap

Make sure you bounce down the road like a drifter!

I run 6/6 now, it's awesome. swift springs all around, koni race in the front, yellows in the rear

8/6 feels fine to me.

I've run both, focus on dampener not spring rates.

"Stiff" spring complaints are usually just poor choice in dampener.

I've got 7 and 4.5-5ish in my 1uz corolla. It rides really nice. Maybe a bit soft in the rear for amateur drifting. It really hooks under power.

GL bringing them back on the plane. Seems regulations have changed wrt pressurized gas items exported from Japan.

Keep your Nissan stereotypes out of here. I got 4k rears. And it's still to stiff.

I'd be interested in the coilovers if ya brought some back.

[b-rock]

Aren't these 8/6?

[JungleMatic]

I'd be interested in a japanese girlfriend if ya brought some back.

Me too.

I was going to remove the shocks and just send them sea mail if they were any good

[clay72]

My rear springs are cut ae86 fronts... works out to about 3.5-4k is what my math is telling me. These cars have no weight in the back. Tin box.

Talk to Duy..... and you'll want to kill anybody who suggests anything else....Ok maybe not, but The Cult Of Koni is strong.
