Coilovers

[JDMxUK]

I know that corsa b/c coilovers fir the front with a few mods and polo 6n coilovers fit the rear, but which type of polo coilover fit the rear.

would it be this type? with what looks to be a shock coil and coilover built into one

Or this type? with a seperate shock and coil with and adjustable thing on the bottom?

So what coil overs fit a k10? Will polo ones fit straight on? Need to knowww

Micra coil overs fit. Sorry to state the obvious but most forget they exist. They cost a lot though

Polo ones require modification to fit
As will corsa ones

 

[JDMxUK]

I have no idea, i don't think any companies make them but i haven't really looked, best place to look is in the K10 section

Jesus that much when you can justget polo and cosa ones?

 

[Andy_S]

Ah yeah BUT they are track coilovers adjustable dampeners etc. My Micra is gonna be a road legal track car with a 2litre sr20 engine in it that's why lol

It'd be cheaper to get the road raised, instead of the car lowered....amirite?

[truck+micra matt]

[truck+micra matt]

http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/rally-car-prep-blog.56365/ look at his list of parts !!!! its surprising

 

[truck+micra matt]

[Huggy444]

I think people have tried getting them before and found that they could no longer get them

 

[truck+micra matt]

Arr okay no harm in trying again? There's certain parts that go in and out of production so may be lucky ha ha

Aye just letting you know of your budget can stretch, look at BC coil overs, they're designed for racing rather than being slammed however

[truck+micra matt]

Wow you've done a lot, well impressed! Fancy setting mine up? Lol alsoto your problem of pulling to the left, did it get a lot better with the slip diff, just that when driving, one side of the diff is heavier due to the longer driveshaft, which could take more to turn and unbalancing the drive to the wheels in a simular way to having a sticky brake pad, just a theroy, back to the topic, going to have to look around for the kit I guess and see what's really out there, any one know Japanese as you could search jap ebay ha ha I've tryed and failed as it's all symbles but I thought was a good try, going to look at some old mags I've collected over the years and see if some of the jap ones have any contacts to Japan! And if the postal costs don't out weigh the savings then we may have a winner but the track spec I'd prefer as I'm not into how low can you go, sorry for the essay

 

[Low Rider]

Unless you are very lucky, anything from Japan will cost you a pretty penny when you add up all the costs to get it to your door.

An old used, rusty pair of coilovers shipped from Japan will likely cost more than a new set from within the UK.

 

[truck+micra matt]

Just a thought as they may be a bigger market to modify them over there meaning there would be more parts avaliable, like Vw in Germany or ford in america or tho I do know you'd have to weigh up postage and exchange rate

 

[pollyp]

and customs and courior handling fee and many other hidden costs

 

[truck+micra matt]

Well that would bein the postage and the customs fee I'm sure is 20% of the price you payed, its a lot of pissing about but if there's nuff in what you save will be worth it I guess but also that apply to brande new, 2nd hand iis different, only apply to certain items I think

Quick question about the BCs can you get the Top Mounts sepereatley as I ordered some Gaz coilovers went direct and were £470, have to wait around 2-3 weeks for them to be made. I asked if they came with adjustable Camber Top mounts but the guy said they didn't do them so was going to use the BC top mounts instead.

Easiest way to get an answer to your question would be to give Be a ring they do stock spares though so I'd of thought you could get top mounts pal

Yea thats what I was thinking of doing, will gie them a ring later when they open.

Wouldnt wanna go that low personaly. I like around 40mm. Dont like it when the arches look like there eating the top of the tyre. Just a nice little stance

According to that micras weigh 1850kg too...

 

[Dinky DK]

Hmmm sounds suspect.

All cheap coilovers come with ridiculous spring rates
But those FK ones are relatively expensive..

I spoke to the guys at Lowerks who sell the FK kits for £439, but apprentley they have discountinued them when I spoke to Gaz to find out if they made a kit which they said they were unsure about they said yes they did and then came back with £470, so for an extra £40 I thought it was worth it and you can specify your own spring rates too.

 

[h701micra]

Definitely worth it. GAZ will valve the shock to the rates you give them
I hear they rework their nova coilover units to work on the K11
