Air to Coilovers

havent posted in ages, been playing with my ucf21 a bit

now, I am sick of the stock air sus and the fact that the datasystems controller is maybe buggy. I set it on setting 5 and sometimes it drops it and shit, so fuck air suspension

what coilovers can you get for UCF21?

Im having trouble finding much on the net, Ive looked on lextreme and shit too


any links or the like would be appreciated

cheers

maybe just switch your controller ? Hmm I have no clue about coils for your car but I am sure there are many

good luck

if I switch the controller I still have shit dampening and body roll

I want to go for coilovers so I can adjust height and have a much better ride

Adding a datasystems controller to stock air sus makes it ride like absolute anus

JIC FLT-A2's. No complaints with mine except I cant drive anywhere because its too low... but thats may fault =) Thats why im taking out the springs and putting bags on my JIC's.

They ride perfect, i was amazed :biggthumpup:

OR, since you'd be paying about $2000 for the JIC's, you could save up a little more and just get shocks and UAS air bags. I would have went that way if I didnt have my JIC's already

so if I get shocks and UAS bags, I have to install it all and run wires etc?


are there any air struts that would just fit straight in place of stock air sus, that could run off my datasystems controller still and stock compressor?

Yes youll have to run the air hoses and wiring for the compressors, etc.

Actually I found a place with rebuilt stock Air Shocks, not bad of a price either. I got my upper control arms from them, great quality... http://www.arnottindustries.com/part_LEXUS_Air_Suspension_Parts_yid7_pid47.html

yea haha, learnt off VSC that you dont touch k-sport, but I may go for the D2's

when I ditch the air, do I just straight swap the coilovers or do I have to remove heaps of shit?
Ill unplug the air sus computer and leave it out?


Yoko, whats the deal on the locksmice? price?

I heard D2 and K=sport are the same thing. Your best bet is Yokota's Lock Smice at least you know those are excellent quality coilovers.

well if i get cima and will be able to do it up before october(thats when autosalon is aye?)then yes im keen as!
well coilovers are pretty much sorted for cima.mags gna be a bit harder to get.but i know people at dswholesalers so maybe they can help me out with some low offset 19"
btw its gna be hard to get some vip rides.
my mate is getting 7 series beema soon,but that wont be really vip for sure.
chch autosalon would be better cause of bling bling dealership,as they do import some vip rides.
suxx that vip culture isnt big enough in NZ.people got mad props but no one builds any...

yea dswholesalers are good, i might go in and grab those small dish 20's when i have a bit more money and sell my rims on trademe, or else go for something insanely dished but that means i have to run spacers etc cos they wont clear the brakes at the front

definately have to have 19s or 20s on a cima otherwise 18s will look small

you should get these,good offsets for celsior,might need a spacer to make it flush.
