Rally Coilovers! Anyone?

That's terrible MR2, you should invest in some "home security"

[MR2]

I'm thinking electrifying the garage door.

Has anyone actually looked into actually having the suspension built at a race shop?? Since there is a ton of EVO shops and now we can bolt evo suspension it ours cars why not call one of those shops and have them built you a coilover set with whatever spring rates you need with proper valving. I mean if you are going to spend that much in suspension might as well get it custom built for your car.

[MR2]

when I spoke to DMS about the coilovers they did say that they would ship me something made for what I wanted to do with the car...which is pretty much what you talk about as I see it?

[Spyder]

so you got custom valving and spring rates??

[MR2]

yep, told them exactly how I wanted it and they said they built them for me

[J. Fast]

What did you end up going with for the spring rates on the fronts and rears?

[MR2]

yet to have any incentive to touch the rears, the fronts I went with 300lb springs (we decided on slighly harder than stock

in case you missed it the shocks have 2 way adjustable valves

[Spyder]

Cool, now install them and get us some feedback

[AgentOblivious]

I'll tell you what.

If somebody sends me a set of OEM shock assemblies (one front, one rear, complete with the upper hats and springs) and a pair of Bilsteins (one front, one rear) I'll draw up a set of drawings and do a how-to web page for converting them to take-apart coilovers.

How long would this take to do? Right now my car is my DD, but it'll probably be down for a bit in the summer (120k service + body work), so I could send you the parts then.
