CUSTOM COILOVERS set of 4
BRAND NEW
Custom made to your needs (Street, Race, Rally etc...)
1 Year Warranty
100% Bolt on, no mods required

WE CAN MAKE COILOVERS FOR ANY CARS, custom made providing zero extra cost. (Some cars with complex front bottom mounts like the R35 GTR or Bmw E30 will require an extra cost of ~60aud)

We use OEM and KYB drawings, the coilovers are guaranteed to fit or we will send you the right parts straight away.

The kit pictured is for a Toyota Celica st165.

Please contact us before buying in order to double check if we can make coilovers for your car, when enquiring about the coilovers, please let us know the model of your car, and what do you use the car for (racing, street, rally etc...) and the type of ride you are looking for.


You are looking at a set of high quality, rebuildable coilovers suspension, with a wide range of adjustments from street applications to full race. It is the ultimate handling modification, which will improve traction, braking, and cornering, as well as getting rid of body-roll. Whether you want to lower your car to the ground, or have a comfy street ride, or a full race setup, we will make a kit that suits your needs.

The coilovers are all made to order, according to your requirements, here are the extra options available:

- Your choice of linear springs (free)

- Height adjustment range and overall strut length to suit your needs (free)

- Spring pre-load adjustment (free)

- Dampers valved to suit the spring rates that you choose, we can also make 70/30, 90/10 etc... dampers if needed. (free)

- Steel or aluminium bottom mounts (free)

- Camber plates with dual bearing for more durability (Front or rear, extra 60aud for each pair)

- Damping adjustment. Adjustable range of 800N (Extra 30aud per set of coilovers)

- Dual Springs setup (Extra 100aud per set of coilovers)

- Color other than blue and gold (extra 50aud)

You can calculate the total by adding the options that you want to the base price of 810aud and to the fixed worldwide shipping cost. Please note that some options might not be available depending on the car. If you purchase the set for 810aud, it will have no camber plates or damping adjustment.

The coilovers are Made In Taiwan, direct factory sale, this is the cheapest price you can get and it's custom made.
Our factory manufactures parts for Cusco Japan and Selex Suspensions in Canada. You will not be disappointed by the quality, all the Ebay feedbacks speak from themselves.

The dual spring setup will give you a much better ride on the street. The softer spring is fully compressed when driving so you don't loose any cornering abilities, it's like only using the stiff single spring. And then when you go over bumps, the softer spring expends and it allows the shock to extend more, so you have more damping stroke compare to a single spring setup. And then you have two stage spring when re-compressing.

Warranty is 1 year, we will send you new parts if anything goes wrong due to manufacturing defects.

We accept returns. Shipping cost are to be paid by the buyer for returns.

We will charge a restocking fee of 50aud for any returns or cancelled order after payment.

If you need ANY spare parts after the warranty expires, we can provide them at a cheap price. When you need to rebuild them, we can send you replacement shocks for 80aud per corner + shipping. Just swap the mounts and springs and you have a brand new kit again. You don't need to wait, or send your old ones back, and it will be cheaper than a full rebuild. So don't hesitate to use our brand for motorsport applications, you won't need to buy a whole new set if you break something.

It takes ~10 working days to make each kit. Shipping is via Taiwan express post. 3 to 6 days shipping worldwide. SHIPPING IS 100AUD WORLDWIDE.

Since you bring up the name of Ground Control in conjunction with this ebay auction, I just wanted to point out that GC would never ever ever ever ever sell a coilover kit like that. It is a disaster waiting to happen, with a threaded shock welded onto an existing strut right at the halfway mark where the assembly is weakest. It is an engineering no-no to assemble a part weaker than the parent part, with the weakest section of the components in the highest stressed section of the assembly. Actually this counts as THREE engineering no-nos.

The way Ground Control uses the e30 front strut, is to place the weak point of the assembly in the highest strength area of the components, which is the smart way to do it, and is the opposite of the setup in that auction.

If you have questions about the GC parts or GC procedures for the e30, you can PM me.

I would not compare that to GC. What happens when the shock blow? Who's going to give you support? Are you going to send them back to taiwan to be rebuilt?
