Custom Adjustable Front Coilovers for All Years (fabrication required)

yup. the bolt holes for the 95 are further apart.all i did was trace the hole pattern to the back of a piece of thin steel and used that as my drill templet. i would encourage you to do the spacing and drilling yourself since you have the shop at your disposal.it really sucks to do all the work by hand with a drill.whew.i aint kiddin! rolleyes

so can we get a complete part list...dont want any bumps along the way from a part i missed out on....and im considering taking you up on the buying it and sending it to you because i dont have the tools nor welding know how to do it......and what all did you have to fab. for the rear i want to do mines all at once but dont trust myself with welding or cutting

also for the Torrington Bearings what size it needed?

actually any thing that needs a certain size would be nice to know

At this time I am unable to fabricate the set up for anyone interested in going the "custom" route. I no longer have the time.

Price and part list. Thats what I'm gettting, but with 350lb front and 300lb rear springs.

So, if one just wanted to convert the strut top mount bushings to the pillow ball mount, which line item in this parts list is that piece?

The pillow ball mount is part of the Total Suspension upgrade.No one part will work without the other.

Thanks. I was just thinking, based on your comments earlier in the thread and some quick research that the "pillow mount" alone was sometimes used to firm up the front suspension.

I just tried to order this setup... it is most definitely a no go wtf I need suspension work done bad

Why don't you just replace your bad parts with new parts from Napa or Autozone?

Only problem is they went way back up in price.Ask 'em to roll back the price?

I'll call him again but he said they were 95 dollars and we went off what you had for parts lists. When I told them my car they immediately said talk to rob lol

Interesting.I did send Bo a link to Rivperf, so he could check out my write-up.It is a very involved process to set the kit up.Probably why he referred you to me.I might have simplified the process but,it's kinda involved.Need a whole bunch of supplies and welding skillz.

Im in college I have a teacher and a few cousins who are inspiring to be welders. I just need the supplies the recipe I can mix together my self with a few lil measurements cause all of the parts I have are off the car already . My biggest concern is the parts you had to cut In to shape

I never give up I can only do what the man.say. he does not have it he does not have it I would like to be in California to challenge his authority but unfortunately I can't

I want sum mf'ng coil overs ... called again rob ....it was said that dont stock them anymore....site needs to be updated... sold out would be nice to have, no company makes them anymore. He gave me a number to another website where he thinks might sell them...maybe I can get just the rears fabbed up like yours and go kyb in the front

Yeah,you can do the rears all day long.Those parts are everywhere. When you get around to it give me a call and I'll make you a pair of brackets to replace the upper rear shock mount.No sweat.
You can still mod a set of front KYBs to mimic the old kit,thusly-

this one is good too

then there's this vid

another one

In the next vid you will get an idea on how to convert a strut to coilover,alltho I am not convinced that a Afco spring wouldn't work with the OEM strut mount.I'm sure it can be done too.Now,if I haven't confused you enough,there's the actual "getting started on the whole thing" thing.

and if all else fails,here's a link to Google Imgs.Tons of places to visit that will have you getting a bunch of detailed practical mods done before by other intrepid drivers.

these infoz will put you in the loop.

These are a few of the many pictorials out there.You gotta dig around for one that you like best.I like these. They're pretty detailed.It's also way easier to do than the product no longer available at PSI.I'm sure it would work on the KYBs,ya just gotta make sure there are Koni inserts available in shorty size.

Sux about the front kit.I knew that someday they would catch on. I'm not sure about the Pillow ball mount on the Strut mod tho? I'm sure with a couple of plates and thoughting,you can get it done.

let me know

Well damn thanks Rob im a little bit confused but more scared than anything lol. Just my luck I will screw something up but shoot me number and cost and a list of pieces for the rears we good
