[minimechanic]

the mx83 coilovers are "nearly" ready they just had to re-make the swaybar link...they're testing them this week..
but dono how long they will b till they are available for purchase..
ghey!!

[Jabtronic]

I just ducked down the road and bought some S13 links.. will test them this arvo, they look heaps too short.

[Jabtronic]

Success! S13 links fit perfectly... now we'll just have to see how long they last.. they look a bit flimsy, as well as being nissan and all

I have 2 pairs of new swaybar links for sale $30/pair posted to you.
PM if keen.
They were unsuitable for my project but might be of use to some of you?
M10 thread, 200mm long centre/centre

probably a bit too long for coilies with the swaybar link bracket

Yes but can easily be cut n shut.

Just a heads up guys. I've organised some coilovers at what I would consider to be an awesome price.

BRAND NEW JIC's for GX/JZX81 for just under $1800 landed. Much better than the $2500 I was quoted before. If people are interested in details of how to get them, I'll pass them on.

[PlacentaJuan]

interested, pass it on.

[Mr Revhead]

if possible try and mount the swaybar links on the strut. the closer to the spring seat the better.
increases the effectiveness of the bar

[The Real Roadrunner]

^^^^^ i keep saying that but i don't think anyone is paying any attention so i gave up.

[ae95]

how is it possible though with no swaybar link bracket on the strut at all?

[The Real Roadrunner]

make one or cut it off the original struts and weld it on.

by running the swaybar to the LCA's you lose about 1/3 of the swaybars roll resistance due to having the increased leverage that the lca mounts will produce.

short links and welding on mounts to the struts will provide far superior roll resistance for about $200 worst case, which would still be cheaper than the supply and fit cost of an aftermarket swaybar (that would work no better than a stock setup if mounted to the LCAs)

Well after quoting me etc., JIC are now f*cking us around. It's a slow process getting information back and forwards from Japan. Grrrr.......they want stock front struts to get that price now for some reason.
