cressida coilovers

[cuttz]

ive been serching the japan yahoo and jauce and they only offer jic for close to 2700 new so 3000 landed in aus

there serial nine ones are made for cressidas and cressidas only and tested as well
they offer awsome rearsub frame locks as well but i would avise to brace up your subframe for those mods

they also offer awsome rca for more low

[ecko]

when comparing prices and quality tho

Serial9 are megan coilovers , which have very little use in aus and are on the otherside of the world if something go wrong and about $2k delivered (shipping, import tax etc)

JIC are pretty well known for leaking and knocking etc at low use and generallly hating aus roads

BC are locally sold and supported, rebuildable in aus custom spring rates etc
you could have them within a week welding should only cost $200 at the most

plus they are only $1500 for top of the range standards are only $1200
plus see if you can find a bad thing said about them?

one of my bc front inserts was dead straight out of the box, had it replaced and all is good. Much happier with the BC's compared to the two sets of x81 JIC's I've had on past cars.

For the fronts you cut the front struts so 50mm of the original tube protrudes, then clean the stub axle up and weld the base sleeve on. I added two rosebud welds to each of mine about 35mm up the tube in addition to the base weld

yeah right didnt know the serial nine coilovers where megan
ive had a few sets of jic and i agree good quality but fail easily
so bc are from just jap yeah u may have swayed me in favor

but how did you go with alinment for the welding or does it all find its spot fairly easy

[cuttz]

when u say u can pick spring rate how fexable is that option
what spring rates have peps chosen
if i could i would think something like 8front and 6 rear or 10 front 8 rear but rate have u guys used

[cuttz]

does tein have any (new)options available

[ecko]

simply email just jap and they will do the spring rates you want

[cuttz]

yeah ive emailed em think the top of the line ones are only 1299
think front 12 and 8 rear is abit unbalanced for my liking but yeah if they offer all sorts i may just buy a set myself
as you guys said for value for money they sound pretty good and if they dont do seals like the jic thats even better
as anyone used rca with these?

interesting greybeard,

megan have been around alot longer than bc tho

[cuttz]

thats is interesting

[MezaH]

i had 12-8 jic's and they felt soft but fair balanced...i just ordered 13-9 and the also have 30 point damper adjuster

[cuttz]

12s are far from soft imo but it may have worked for you
10f and 8 r worked well for me but if i can get em lower i will they still havent got back to me yet so ill see what they can do

[MezaH]

well i guess its all depending on use...

[cuttz]

yes it would work well for drift

but i want mine to be an allrounder street, drag, drift
