Installed Some Coilovers :)

[sl33ek]

Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience in installing some coilovers today.

I did it with the help of a mate who installed a set of Teins on his pulsar recently. Big thanks to ya Peter

Coilovers are used Kei Office TE. I've always been a fan of Tsuchiya and his coilovers a top notch, made in his own factory in japan and heavily R&D'd.

TE model means base model with no damper adjustment, made to be very similar to stock suspension with height adjustment.

My car came with worn out Nismo damper adjustable shocks and springs. It had a rattle in the left rear, cant say how good it feels to get rid of the rattle. It also "whispered" where I would hear the dampers working over bumps, it sounds like ppl whispering in the back seat, it was hell annoying

The coilovers also made it a really good ride, when I braked hard on the worn Nimso's the car would pitch forward and then back, these don't, and it gives a nice firm ride with very nice dampening.

Anyway heres some pics from today

Just want to say thanks to wtf-33R for the wheels and 33KLR for the coilovers

What do you think?

Cheers!

Needs more lowering!!

LOL

you would have liked our first attempt at the front then. Had no idea where to adjust it to so we tried the middle. Turns out the front bar was 3cm off the ground and the front wheel was tucked under by about a cm.

I need it to be practical my driveway is shit and I'm sick of repairing the front bar hehe

Hey thanks guys!

I got it aligned on Sunday morning at Bob Jane. It was only $66 for all four wheels, that was pretty sweet. It cost like $90 a year ago when I last did it at the same place.

Its all aligned, and the rears have correct camber and toe, as does the front right. Front left is cambered 1.5 deg adn they couldnt correct it. I might get a camber kit if I get really bad tyre wear on it.

Yeah i read about the show and shine it looks like its going to be huge! I'll try to make it!
