LOWERING SPRINGS FOR AE92 HATCH

Postby Hybridd » Thu Aug 10, 2006 9:14 am

Hi friends

At the moment i have 40mm drop on my Conquest_The choice of springs are called N-Force [also known as koenic] they are the most uncomfortable ride ever_I feel every bump_looking to change the springs_Can the FXGT guys help me by advising what sort of springs you guys use to get a good ride with a 40mm drop... :?:

Thanks

Hey there.
I'm using Jamex springs on my AE92 FXGT. I've got KYB shocks as well.
I haven't driven it yet with this setup, as it's parked up and stripped down getting a turbo kit bolted on. I had the same combo on my S/C AW11 MR2 and I loved it. They are not too tight, but when you push it, it tightened up nicely.
Some have mixed feelings about thses springs, but I like them and they were cheap too:)

PS, pity you can't get the two door AE92, that's what I've got and agree with you about it being a good looking car 8)

Thanks Crampy_and also tell me_Can we get shortened or sports shocks for our cars mate... 8) I am saddened that we don't get an AE92 2 door like yours down there_Its a gorgeous piece of metal_I have decided to convert mine to 2 door_I have a relative living in New Zeland [whom i have not spoken to in a while] I am sure he'd be willing to buy parts on behalf of me from members of this board and shipping to me if possible_i am gonna go for the smaller parts first_digital dash etc [i love that one] etc.

Say Crampy_would you mind e-mailing me some pictures of your FXGT if you have mate_will really appreciate it... 8)

Hey man, yeah I'll try and get some pics to you soon. They will be of my work in progress. My car it white and due to the work in the engine bay, there's a whole lot of black oily hand prints all over the paint work :cry:

I'll give you some pics now and then in a bit once it's all done I'll send some more.

I'm unsure about getting shortened shocks, I would image yes. I didn't need them, that's the beauty of the Jamex springs I've got. They are fully captive and lower it quite nicely, not too low. Bearing in mind I hate having the guts of my car hitting the ground as it bounces down the road 8O . I like to have a decent amount of suspension travel, but it tightens up nicely when you push it.

I'll look at getting those pics done soon.
