ok. i am putting in stanza struts into my 1200 ute. i am puting the maddat brake upgrade. i want to lower and stiffen the suspension. ive been told to use coilovers. looked through tech section and still doesnt make sense

cheers patts.

have a look here these are a god deal

not really keen on the weld on bit. has anyone got a pic of these on a car

sssutes in SA, sure he could help out with the welding bit .... all coilover's are a weld on setup

yeh my talents with a welder still a lil scratchy so yeh. were do i get springs form then

king springs, or any spring place. They are a 'standard' diameter, as used in a lot of coilover kit.

cheers fellas

these are what sssutes are, pretty much all coilover kits will come out looking similar ...




these are a pedders setup i'm in the middle of (wouldn't advise this route unless you're prepared to do alot of messin about )
standard stanza strut body on the left, shortened coilover on the right ...


and these are a datrats set. all the datrats stuff is top notch as well

yeh cheers its all making sense now. so stanza struts, with king springs on these coilover setup up seems alright for a ute runnin a CA turbs with street asperations only

Cheers guys for the plugs. Dat5 welding them on is very simple, if your interested i can do it for you, as im in adelaide too. Springs can be a bit of trial and era, but not to hard to get right. I have a CA18DET in a ute and im using 175 pound Kings with a free hight of about 225mm. Good ride hight(LOW), reasonably firm, Could be a bit stiffer for track use, but for road use great.
