Recently Changed To 'For Sale'
"Yet another sale from this clown?" you're thinking to yourself. Yup! I'm a sucker. But technically this is just a third party organised buy and not a group buy, because no matter how many people end up buying, the price remains the same as it's as low as it can get already. Plus there's no deadline or order date. Just order when you want.
Seeing that Phat's done the research and already has Tein customising the S.Tech springs for him, I convinced Phat to do a group buy for them since he's the only one that can get the 'Phat Edition'.
There are some who have ordered a set already (I know who you are! ), but let's give others a chance to get in on the action! So I'm organising a group buy of Tein S.Tech lowering springs to be imported by Phat GT. And for those of you crazy enough in these times of world economic crises, Tein Type Flex coilovers as well!
Specs & Pricing
Just a bit of background on the 'Phat Edition' for those of you not across on another thread. If I remember correctly, Phat ordered the JDM S.Techs for Phil's (MY07GT) car. But the springs just didn't fit right. The front was ended up being like 3 inches higher than the back, causing for a very awkward looking stance. Something about how the JDM shocks and Bilsteins are much different to ours.
Phat had to send them back to Tein in Japan for changes ... twice! Each time he requested changes to be made in order to fit the Australian Liberty. Finally the 3rd iteration from Tein yielded success! So now when Phat orders S.Techs from Japan, they send him the 'Phat Special Edition' S.Techs, which are his customised springs for the Australian Libs. It will have the same catalogue number but have an extension at the end to denote they are the special Phat ones.
In any case, I'm sure Phil or Phat can confirm their 1st hand version of events. The fitment issue was the same for MY04-MY08 GT, GT-B, 3.0R, 3.0R-B, 2.5 NA, and 2.0 NA.
S.Tech Lowering Springs
According to the application list, the S.Techs lower your Liberty 25mm front/25mm rear for the sedan, and 25mm front/30mm rear for the wagon. But the S.Techs I got through Phat seem to sit a bit more than 25mm (could be my imagination), and suits the appearance and ride height much better IMO. They are spring rated at 5.3 front / 7.2 rear. UPDATE - The customised S.Techs are only available for Bilstein equipped Libertys.
There are a lot of Libertys on this forum who have fitted the S.Techs so a simple search or browsing through the 'Post Your Mods' or 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres' section should give you an idea of how the Liberty looks like. Otherwise here are pics of my car with S.Tech's fitted: Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3
Price is $455, shipped anywhere in Australia. This includes air freighted over from Japan, so they will land within 2 weeks.
Type Flex Coilovers
Always the better choice, coilovers provide the flexibility of adjusting your ride height as you need, but still provides a very comfortable ride (as those of you have a set or have rode in a Lib with them). As I normally advise, get coilovers if you are picky about how your car sits. Getting springs only to find out you're not happy and having to acquire another set of springs is a huge time wasting activity. Get coilovers and you will have the ride height you want the first time around. And if you're wanting to adjust it later on, you can do so without having to purchase a new set of springs. The Type Flex are spring rated at 6 front and 6 rear.
Again, a search of the forum should yield some Libertys with the Type Flex. Otherwise here the Type Flex on my car: Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3
Price is $2,680, shipped anywhere in Australia. This includes air freighted over from Japan, so they will land within 2 weeks.
Your Information
Phat can order to fit any Gen IV Liberty, both sedan and wagon. Please PM me with your model year (MY##), engine type (2.0 NA/2.5 NA/3.0 NA/ 2.0t/2.5t), body shape (sedan/wagon), and whether or not you have Bilsteins fitted, as the Billies will effect ride height and have to be adjusted accordingly (and not everyone who has Bilsteins has a Spec-B which is why I didn't ask whether or not it's a Spec-B). For example:
- Name: Arith
- Year: MY07
- Engine: 2.5t
- Body: Sedan
- Bilsteins: Yes
Note - Please be advised due to the poor exchange rate and cost, payment for springs/coilovers must be made in full before ordering can proceed.
