WJM Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Get these: KYB GR2 for XT 2WD 234029 and 234030 http://www.importperformance.com/store/234029 The XT struts are the shortest ones. Put an uprated spring on it, say the 250 lb 10 in tall ones im running...and whamo. 4WD struts are the tallest. 2WD sedan/wag/coupe being shorter...XT being shotest.

NorthWet Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 yar, thats why i referenced the hacksaw =] actualy none of my vehicles are lowered... im just here for fun. Metal cut-off saw is faster, louder, and more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 no spring cutting...with a torch that is. Using a 'saw' action is ok...but still not recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 actualy, a hacksaw would probable take 30 minutes, and three blades. half a rung at a time is what i have heard to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 yeah, half a coil...and I ahve a portaband...takes about 5 mins to zip thru the thick spring steel. 2 mins on street springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 meh coils, who needs them? Why would you cut them when you can just pull them out? I tend to use a cut off wheel, thats how I lowered the front of my '79 wagon and then cranked the torsions down in the rear. I said screw it with the Brat and pulled the coils out completly and cranked the torsions all the way down in the rear, pull some bumpstops and VOILA! lowered Br!z@t!!!

archemitis Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 i'll vouch for that, no springs sucks, you cant launch off the line without catching air... thats with a good bit of horsepower tho. a brat with 75 hp might be ok... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmmm lovely JDM high compression EA71s with some work done to them. Made it real fun to drift in RWD;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranzition Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Something like this should do the trick Who makes those? Brand? Model number? Will they fit on Brats? Where can I get a set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Purdeey. I'll have some Koni Double adjustable custom coilovers made at some point...and some pretty stiff springs too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
