shock q

Postby MrDori » Mon Apr 24, 2006 12:18 pm

Hi guys, i have a early model cressida, to which i have made some coilovers for the front, i shortened the strut casing by 30mm to fit mr2 sw20 rear inserts into, i have 550lb race coils and i only got some shitty kybs and it does bounce about alittle, does anybody know a super stiff shock that is used for the rear of an mr2?

also for the rear i have installed some short kyb oil shocks from a mitsi mini truck, i need to find some super stiff springs for the back as i plan to give drifting a crack.

What an i likely to fing these springs in? rear of vans? front of passenger cars? how do i tell if the spring is gana be stiffer?

i think Stocks make up custom springs (height and spring rate) for a reasonable price
