Strict budget, slow restoration. *Now with moar budget*

[Farbin Kaiber]

Coil-on or coil-off on the rear? In the MCS guy's thread, he says the issue of blow out is blown out of proportion. Might affect wheels though I think.

Nah standard spring locations. I like my luke box too much to reinforce and do rear coilovers.

Oh no you didn't...

[cyberkaa]

Woohoo

How did you decide on the suspension?

I think it's time to drop "strict budget" from the title, Mr. AST. ;)

Simple. You get what you pay for with suspension, and the GCs were shot so something needed done.

Current off-the-shelf Konis aren't quite up to snuff for the spring rates I want to run. It was either double adjustable (noisy) Konis or ASTs for a similar price. AST is really the better damper. Matches better, nicer damping curve, and I've always wanted a set. Boom, decision made.

(Alternate explanation: one of my Konis is blown and I wanted ASTs)

Utter shitbox + M50 + $1600 dampers = STRAIGHT BALLIN SON!!!11 :p

Love your style. Wish I could just wrench on the street!

C1s make good cupholders


FS: Set of Konis!


Brand new never installed


ASTs replace G60 Konis


Orange adjuster sex


Mounting something


bottlecap spare to ASTs and R888s


Look at how little droop travel these things have... these are seriously short stroke dampers and I'm actually going to have to lower my car to get enough travel to be comfortable


The flash really brings out all the beauty in the paintjob


Here she sits before I lower it further


Tune in next week!

Nice! I always look forward to this thread updates!

BTW - since I removed my factory antenna - I forgot that thing looks like a 70's CB antenna on an e30!
