*coilover countdown!

Some more parts for my long dreamt of coilover conversion!


This weeks arrival was a set of new MCNsport rear AE86 coilovers. These are very very tasty units, 24-way damping adjustment, fully height adjustable, polyurethane bushings, and nice moderate 5kg/mm rate springs, all in a package that fits into the original damper mounting space. Can't wait to get these in! Also pictured are a set of new 6kg/mm front springs by AVO/MCN. These springs, along with a new pair of AVO/MCN adjustable short stroke inserts I picked up will be finding a new home in a nice set of japanese coilovers that we will be refurbishing. I nearly have everything gathered for the swap now. Just some RCA's are outstanding, and maybe a new RS*R lateral rod down the line when the money machine allows..

  1. So is the shock body height adjustable aswell? I wasn't sure so bought a pair of Section rear shocks and Craftz springs.

  2. They are height adjustable via the spring perch just like front coilovers, but there is no preload on the springs.The body is threaded all the way down but I don't think you actually could wind it down that much on the car, you'd have very little damper travel.
