wanted : Coilovers
as the title implies,
im after a set of coilovers for my up-and-coming project, my main requirement is that they are very cheap, i realy only need something that will get
my car on the road so seeing as i am going the "locost" way i guess i shouldnt realy be spending mega money on shocks and springs
anyone want to get rid of their dreaded zeemarides?
cheers
Matt
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

When you say 'on the road' do you mean through SVA? If it's just to make the car manoueverable just make 4 tie rods.

if you've got some for sale just u2u me and if the offer is good enough i might just buy them for use later
cheers

I used bits of plywood strip, cut to the length of a coilover and drilled a hole in each end, when they are bolted on they keep the car at approx ride
height and allow the car to be manouevered. If you look in my photo archive there's a huge photo (look in the rear brakes file, it's the
first photo) in which you can see one of them in action.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

The chap I bought my part built kit from had made these, though solid mild steel might have been slight overkill 
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
