EVO 8/ 9/ 10 coilovers

[blacksheep]

I have Evo X MR suspension chilling in the basement. Came off a 1 week old MR. I plan to swap my X GSR Kayaba's for the MR with some progress springs. No coilovers for me, I don't need it. What measurements do you want?

If anyone wants the MR or KYB suspension sets, let me know. If I sell them both, I could swing some KW's. The MR is 1 week old, the KYB has 5500 miles on it, car has not been tracked or auto-x'd yet and I keep the whole car really clean.

I was thrust into an in-car engine rebuild and right now I have everything except the block and tranny out of the front. I was holding off on putting the evo X front struts/springs until I get her back together because I know right now she'll be sitting a little high.

I would say it might be another month or so before I am any help. Sorry

EVO 8/ 9 jic's, looks like no welding needed on the rears. Just unscrew, and screw in the correct fitting.

 

[fuel]

They the correct Evo X rears? I thought the Evo X had the same eye fitting as our E39As except with a smaller hole as mentioned above?

 

[transparentdsm]

yeah, G are you sure those aren't for the evo 8-9? i was also under the assumption that the X rear had the same look as the vr4 rear

Makes more sense to buy the jic evo 8/ 9 coil overs instead of welding the shocks.

 

[coyotes]

Do all evolution coilover a share that design or just the jic? This opens up a lot more coilover options for the gvr4.

 

[G]

Just jic. click

Guys.....

All this talk of welding, staaaahp.

Buy some evo 8/9 coilovers, use these adapters, done.

 

[G]

That would work too, but if it were my car i'd go with the jic option.

 

[G]

So they have these coil overs on clearance for $1150. For a 90-99 3kgt fwd. Looks like they would work?

 

[turbowop]

They might work. You could probably piece something together with JIC parts since all the components just fit together. It's just a matter of finding the right bottom brackets, the correct length threaded damper body, and the correct upper mount.

My thread for the Muellerized JICs I have on my car when I rebuilt them: click

 

[G]

I'm pretty sure that 3kgt set would work, someone should buy those before they are gone. $1150 shipped.

I bought some flt-a2's in 2006. Just went and snapped a few pics, this is the part you need. I'm sure it's a universal part?

Doesn't the 3s have a larger ID for the rear bushing though? They would work if you were running 3s rear trailing arms though

Yes they do, but you could probably make a small sleeve or something. There is plenty of washer to hold the whole setup tight.
