i know nothing about those coil overs but i can tell you that if they are made by HKS they must be good.

HKS are one of the best brands you can buy.

Thats what i assumed haha! I really need to know fitment if anyone can help!

This is the info iv got. I dont know if it helps someone tell me if they fit or not?

Fully adjustable height collars so you can lower the car without affecting spring rate.

Top mounts front = 3 bolt plate to suit OEM with pillow top and Full Camber adjustment.

Top mounts rear = 2 bolt plate to suit OEM mount

Bottom mounts front = It has the two bolt mounts for OEM hub on the front (similar to S14 in design etc)

Bottom mounts rear = single bushed bolt hole to suit OEM rear suspension.

just to make sure and you dont take the advice of the above post..................THEY WON'T FIT

by **Woodduck** » Sat Dec 18, 2010 1:06 am

Thanks Phat! Nah i took the advice and it was lucky they didnt fit anyway. I told him id take them as long as they fitted. I wrote back that afternoon and said that they didnt fit and he told me he had sold them to someone else even though i told him i wanted them :evil:

So i would have been pissed if they had have fitted and he sold them on me! Oh well. Ill continue my hunt for cheap coilovers haha

replace stock bilsteins with cheap coilovers?

Yeah you're the full quid for sure. Be sure to put some ksport 97598245^10 pot calipers on radially zip tied on and throw some nangkangs to finish the deal.

Lol Looks like you're the full quid Ian, since when would you consider HKS as a crap brand, by cheap he means cheaper than what you would pay brand new.

Like I have said before, check Ian's post history.
And even what Ian has said himself, take what he says with a grain of salt.
He seems to have a stick up his arse, I'm not even sure why he posts on these forums tbh. Hasn't even done an introduction and just bad mouths peoples hard work.

pretty sure also if you look at his sig he has Tein S-Techs not the stock springs in there at the moment anyway?

im sure that he doesnt want cheep gear judging by all the other things he has done to his car i think he is in the same league as myself an chasing some good quality coilovers at a cheeper the new price

Hahahaha I managed to miss this. What a douche.

To make it clear for the people not smart enough to figure it out for them selfs- These coil overs that i posted about were $350. Even if i had to get them rebuilt they would still be an extremely good price. Im not sure what rock your living under, but HKS are a top brand....I cant see a down side to getting a fantastic product for a fantastic price?

If all you do is browse the forums for some one to push your bullshit onto then i suggest you go fap off at boostcrusing mate :roll:

Can you get hks coilovers rebuilt in australia? I know you can get Teins done

by **Woodduck** » Sun Jan 02, 2011 12:52 am

I could be wrong but i figured you could buy a kit with all the seals etc and get a suspension place to do it?
