Hmmm

Now I need to go steal the shocks of my mate that just bought a 325 j/k

BTW, could you tell me some more about the lexan windows? I'm still very interested in the details. You have my email. Thanks

[KristianAE86]

Ivan........

I could make them for you & send then to you if you like.

it would be 2mm or 3mm of your choice !

difference in price is.....

1 square meter 2mm Lexan = 20 Euro
1 square meter 3mm Lexan = 30 Euro

I doubt that shipping would be very expensive.

the only problem is that you cannot roll upp & down the windows
with Lexan windows.

I have mine secured with an m6 bolt/nut

but do you also want the rear window ?

if your car is lowered more than 4cm since they are full length shocks.
You do have an interesting choice of springs...most of us just buy one of the few lowering kits that are available over here.

Well...

my car is lowered 5" = 13cm.

The boxes that the shocks came in said Tokico Blue (even on the Tokico sticker)

& i have had no problems with the shocks at all yet.

Hey.. you have missunderstood me a little.

only the rear SPRINGS of an 325 E30 will fit the AE86... not the
shocks.

Also.. A small tip --- is that the rear shocks of an NIssan Cherry Turbo will fit to 99%.. all you have to do is change the rubber bushing on the lower mount

Hey Kristian, I understood you, just made a typo there, my mind works strange like that sometimes

Those lexan windows are interesting, I still need some for my RX7...

Hi Kristian,

Very nice car you have there, although I liked it best when it was just a clean white car without the stickers (but then i'd like sponsors paying part of the bill as well )

Could you do me a favour regarding the shocks? When you have some spare time, could you just peak under the car and measure the distance between the end of the shockbodies and the bumpstops? With the usual tokico blues this distance should be zero, thus eliminating the shocks and springs ability to do any work.
Perhaps you have some special shortened edition? If people would start to buy the ordinary blues and dropping the car 13cm they would be in for a suprise...

Hi Kristian,

Great car! I bought mine also with drifting in mind I also want to see the building pictures.

Have fun drifting (still downloading)

Välkommen, välkommen Kristian!

Wow, that's pretty cheap for lexan! I'm assuming you wont be able to roll up the windows anymore because they lack anti scratch coating, or is it because you wanted to save weight by removing the window mechanism?
I'm going to give my friend over at GE a call, see what basic 3mm lexan would cost per square meter. At 20 euro's per square meter i can afford to replace them once in a while, as long as I can still open my windows.
I'm only doing the side windows by the way, unless lexan doesnt fog like ordinary glass does, that ,might be a reason to think about replacing the rear glass. (It's not as big of a window on coupe's as it is with hatchbacks so weight is less of a problem.)

Did you need to bend the lexan to make it fit or is it a flat piece? If it's flat I can make it myself.
