Ibrahim, Djexor, many thanks for all the help tonight.
A special thanks goes out to Robokill who paid us a sortof surprise visit around 10pm and not a minute to soon. We had been struggling taking the coilover sleeves of my old struts and failing for nearly an hour to do so.. He took a look at them, scratched his had, took some tools, and after 15 minutes had them taken apart! WHEEEH! In a nut shell, what we did in total was: - install tokico's in my shortened struts - install new brake disks - install new brake pads - properly install coilovers so they are actually usable - cleanup loads of things I'll upload pictures tomorow, the ride hight is perfect now! The car look super! Still on my 6.25kg/mm front springs, which is what I find perfect. The tokico's are still on factory settings possibly their strongest settings. We were worried it may be to much but as I didn't have the right adjustment tool with me I decided to try it out. Let me just say, the ride home was AMAZING. I LOVE THIS SETUP!

i saw you bumping away!! LOL!
On my ride home the cops stopped me because of the way I drove the corners heheh who says you have to brake for a corner I was thinking: "Wait till I have that suspension and I'll go even faster!" After a little chat it was ok and I could go 5/2018 BMW F22 Coupe 1/1985 Toyota AE86 Levin Coupe |

Djex,
hmm I never really felt the bumpiness there, though that road is damn rough. Anyways, not more then before. I did have some stutters at the crossing after I left the A4, now that was weird. I think turning the tokico's a notch down is probably needed, but its not as bad as I thought. Cops stopped you for taking corners to fast?

well mux thank god you like the setup. It will take some finetuning before you have the strenght of your shocks the way they match the springs best.

I got the Tokico's through Max, and I'm only going to thank Tokico when they deside to make the HTS' again
Yeah all the parts worked out great! One of the clamps you had some metric in the wrong end so I had to drill that out, but that was the only thing. The bolts were to long, I thought I had 4cm RCAs but I only had 3cm. It didn't turn out to be a problem though... Didn't need to cut them to size.. Just screwed em tight and they stick out the top. I may replace them with shorter ones some day... Greetz, Bastiaan "mux213" Olij Moved down under, no more hachi |
