Superstrut to non superstrut

[AUGASM]

hey,how much would it cost to convert to a non superstrut setup?
im looking at a gtz but superstrut is sh!t apparently.
thanks

Waaaaaay too much money and the difference handling wont be worth it.
You will need to change the entire lower subframe, lower control arms, front struts, front sway bar and all the bushes and linkages.
Whats the problem with the s/strut anyway?

It $&#$% out and costs a fortune to fix.

so hed rather pay money to replace it, which would cost a small fortune, rather than replace all the bits, which would actually cost less?

not to mention superstrut handles better than non superstrut?

its just the arms man >.>

as dr-x said,im looking at a gtz for $6500ono and the superstrut is crap,and ive noticed a few that when lowered,sit unevenly

not to mention the hubs + rotors + callipers as well...

(can adapt the rotors and calipers to fit mcpherson though)

IMO its not that much of a dog that its worth changing....

ask 10k_20v whats needed, he's done it himself i believe..

[minijrocks]

yeah i would agree with that

lower it with springs, dont expect good handeling, ever.

lower it with those, and youll be a very happy chappie.

any idea of cost or where i could get some?ive got 11k all up to spend so i was thinking turboing it if i got it too.

[fx gt]

does any body have pics of the differnt moddels?and wat year is a superstrut?

[CozmoNz]

11k, MINTZ0R

theyll probbaly cost around $3,500 but revhead can probbaly give you a cheaper deal

get him to chuck you some new super strut arms too, no point putting new stuff in if you have old arms (arms are cheapish anyway).

note, thats circut stuff... shell handel like a dream, and probbaly as rough as a bloody steamroller.

quite a few AE101's and AE111's are super strut,from 91 upwards of 96-7(i think).
thanks to all replies,keep 'em coming

what the two differnt models look like

[minijrocks]

cozmo, where do you get thoes struts/springs from? have you got them? how mcuh was it to get them installed.i have a ae101 with s/s but mine is all good, but kinda want to go low, but lowering a s/s is a bitch isn't it and i would lose my good handling. are thoes adjustibles that fit straight into superstrut arms ect.....?

and these q's too

[Distrb]

and wat year is a superstrut?

from my experience it doesnt have a 'year' per say...

was standard issue with the Ae101 Gt-z
was an option on Ae101 Gt-apex 20v.
was standard issue on Ae111 BZ-V & BZ-R levin/trueno

have yet to see any BZ-V without it, or have yet to see any BZ-G with it, although it may have been an option on the facelift model.

bearing in mind that i cannot gaurantee that any of this information is official, as it was collected in real life situations with my own two eyes (i.e. i did not read it on the internet)

[CozmoNz]

The 2 models? wtf?

what they look like... well... the older models are rounder... the newier models are i duno, spiffier? if you cant tell the diff between an ae111 and an ae101 you shouldnt be here .

Where can you get those coilovers from? Mr Revhead
How much? I dont know, i dont have them, i just know TRD = Win 4 superstrut coilovers
You wont lose your handeling, it can only improove with coilovers 4 superstrut.

and yes, they will be a complete bolt in, only difference is youll have the ability to change them, thus, adjustable .

dont lower superstrut with springs... lowering with springs only changes the look of the car, not the handeling. imo, stock they handle well, and before you say they dont, go down to mag n turbo, and get a wheel alignment with 1.5 negitive camber, and THEN tell me they handle badly . (when the alignment goes out they drive like pigs)

i got a bz-v and its superstrut / 2pot etc. so another mark for them!

[minijrocks]

mmmmm adjustable superstrut.......
how low can it go? does it still handle good. i want some i want some
( please dont say theyre like over $2000)
