bump

doing a coilover set up on my 1200 ute and have discovered i have 1 120y and 1 1200 coupe strut in my ute. need struts with hubs . asap please. i'm in brisbane but will pay postage. i need the early type with the weird brake calipers.

cheers

thanks guys. there is one from the states aswell i found for 199.00 including inserts and springs from ground control. not sure on postage tho. good exchange rate to so might be worth it.... lifetime guarantee too!!!!!!!

thanks for your help guys. this really is a great spot for info. i think i'm going to go a coilover set up tho. can get them for around 200 from the states + shipping, then just shorten the strut. and i think they come with inserts. new problem is i removed and stripped the struts and had a look.
1 : there was oil everywhere and 2 : they are 2 different struts...... one is a 120y and the other is a 1200 coupe so the hubs and are different, so if any body knows where i can get a passenger side 120y strut that would be super. weird i know and i think the tops are off a pulsar strut, so i am told so its a bit of a mess at the moment. who thought getting shocks could be so difficult.

was told someone on here sells a coilover kit for a 120y strut. if someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated, or let me know where i can buy one off the net or something.

cheers

just spoke to koni and they said they use a rear sunny or 120y shock and put some sort of spacer in and then machine the top where it bolts in depending on what tops u are useing. i think if u are using standard 120y ones they don't need to. 320 each tho plus 40 each for the spacers and another 50 each to modify the tops if needed. 900 for shocks is a bit rediculious i recon. is it a very hard process to shorten the strut???? that seems cheaper. so as u shorten the strut u lower the car aswell i guess. i would like to keep the 120y struts as i want to do the s13 brake conversion and keep the wheels i have and not mess around with offset. is it worth the trouble. how do the struts u have now handle. i want a fairly stiff ride.

so the koni yellow shocks i can buy off the shelf????. are they for a different strut but fit the 120y one also cos they told me koni didn't make one for 120y. is koni yellow the correct name if i ask for them???? cheers.

i need to replace the shocks in my 1200 ute with 120y struts. whats the best shock to use. i have rang a few places but they say monroe gas are the only ones available and may not work in lowered applications as they are positional. what are other people useing. don't want to waste my money if they aren;t going to be any better than the old ones. i also have ca18det so i have the extra weight to consider..... help appreciated

i have 120y struts on my ca 1200 ute and the front suspension is very soft. they are low or super low king springs but the shocks are rooted. i want to know how stiff i can expect the struts to be with the extra weight of the ca ( i want it really firm )or should i upgrade the struts before wasting my money on 120y shocks. whats other peoples experience with 120y shocks and ca's ??????? are they stiff enuff. what setups would be more suitable.

i took the iac on the plenum off as i had spoken to a few people who said u don't need it with a standard ecu. i was told it was an idle up sensor for when the air con compressor comes on ans since no air con , no need for the sensor. I WAS TRYING TO TIDY THE ENGINE BAY UP A BIT. its not that it idles slow when cold its like it doesn;t get enough fuel..... just like a cold carby motor, and u have to puLL the choke out for it to run right when cold.. it has always done it and not changed since taking the sensor off so now i'm confused.....AND ONCE ITS WARM IT RUNS FINE :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:((:((:(:(:(:(:
