    My New Coilovers...

    Well kinda,

    Koni Red inserts, custom rate Ground Controls, H&R helper springs or (Preloads), along with Cusco camber plates.



    Its for my MX3 but seeing as though the rear strust are from a AWD Pro i figured i would post it here Im still undecided on if i should paint the strut body Koni "Red" or stick with black. any thoughts?

    mmm that's tasty looking! does it have cuscos in the rears too?

    I'd paint them red if you want people to see them, or black if you want a stealthier look.

      That's a nice setup!

      Jack, those are the rears.

      And Josh, I'm going to have some questions for you in the near future!

                Where'd you find the camber plates?

                Looking at ordering those Ksport coilovers for the BG but it only has pillowball mounts in the front. Just an aluminum plate in the back so these would solve my problem quite nicely.

                  I started in the rear because im remounting my rear end, re-modifying the rails to mount the rear diff assembly higher into the chassis. I will have the rest of them done this weekend. Think i will stay with the black strut body as it is rather stealthy, and stock looking at first glance when looking at the wheel wells.

                  Getting excited about getting my car back onto the road its been 5 years this month...

                  From Japan, CorkSport can order them. Special order and takes a little while. I do have to cut out the top of the strut towers themselves a little for full adjustability but im fine with that. Its just opening the center hole out about a half an inch.

                      it'd be nice if they had the option of camber adjustment

                        they do- the upper bolt hole on the lower mount is slotted for camber adjustment... you just don't get the fine adjustment like with camber plates

                          You could always go with a camber bolt kit

                            Same here. I do wish they had camber plates in back, i dont really care for the elongated upper hole in the strut mount.
