FS: Y34 custom front coils / cut rear Tein's

Here is most of the old bits off my M to make your front into a custom coilover and a set of cut rear Tein's which could still be cut more with no problem as they had plenty of tension in the bucket.  Amazingly, the rear OEM shocks are still good. When I got the car 1 year ago with 74k, I was pretty sure they'd been replaced cause the car rode so good, even after putting Tein's on and cutting them. This just re-enforces the belief they must have been pretty new.  The Bilstein HD struts that were in the front are still in great shape too. There had been some question how they'd hold up with 14k springs, but I can report, they're just as hard to push down as when new 10 months ago.

so all that is needed is the weld-on sleeves for the front? any specific ones suggested/

The sleeves are not welded on, they slip over. You have to cut off the stock spring perch and then weld a ring where you want the bottom of the sleeve to sit, then slip the sleeve over the stock tube.

Wanna just buy my shit? LOL

I was just gonna bump this thread today. NEW PRICE $500 shipped for everything you see!!

oh ok cuz from the diy i saw they welded a sleeve for the insert once you cut the tube down........or am i lookin at it wrong? lol :slap:

nah, once they cut the stock tube down, the Bilstein insert is held in place with a bolt at the very bottom instead of the big nut at the top like OE.  Then they welded a ring to keep the threaded sleeve from sliding down.

BUMP. $500 shipped for everything??

make an offer, low ball me. These come with CUSTOM CAMBER PLATES!!! That alone should entice someone who doesn't have adjustable camber in front.

Still wondering, since I dont want to cut off the spring perch, along with my shock tube.

My bad I will measure on monday.

No problem, also would you happen to know if the insert will still fit in the tube without cutting off the top threaded part?
 
Thanks again

Were you able to get the measurements?

How much of a drop will they do ? Inch wise?

I went to measure the struts last night and forgot before I even got there lol. I'll measure them today, I promise!

However, they're pretty much sold as well as the threaded sleeves.

@ Lixam: I'm not sure how much drop, do you mean the whole thing? I could have really slammed the front to the ground probably, but the rear were just cut springs which I'm probably going to throw out.

I know its a little much to ask because theyre free but do the rears ride like shit? lol  if not then i'll get them

LOL, not shit but definitely on the soft/bouncy side.

Here's the measurements of the Bilstein HD, Mitsubish 3000GT inserts: 18.5" from the bottom to the top of the "fat tube" or 19" from bottom to top of the "taper", overall length is 20.5". We cut the strut tube to fit the threaded collar, so I don't know if it would work with the tube un-cut. We also drilled a hole in the bottom for the bolt on the Bilstein HD.
