NorCalDime Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 My friend suggested this to me and i hadnt even thought of it. . I have tokico rear shocks. Could the GC coil sleeve be put on these and a collar used like in the fronts? anyone done this? Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 i have thought about this too, also you can buy shocks with threded housings there about 150 each Quote Link to comment
69FJWagon Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 No you cant, the bodys are not the same as the I.D. of the sleeve and there is no way to keep the sleeve on the shock, I have however when I work at my buddys Mustang shop taken a set of bilstein shocks and turned a snap ring grove into the body and put a coilover sleeve onto that shock but the body was big enough to do that and they had directions an how to do the conversion Clayton Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Just get the QA-1 rears from Jordan at Top Motoring. Well priced and VERY nice. You will eliminate the datsun hump. Quote Link to comment
Colbino Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Or just get the ground control rear coilovers. They're $11 cheaper than Top Motoring's. Quote Link to comment
NorCalDime Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 well i was trying to accomplish this without spending 500 bucks Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 ya 300 would be nice maybe 400 Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 It's worth every penny! No guess work and excellent upgrade. And you really don't need a rear sway bar :D Quote Link to comment
69FJWagon Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 ^^^KIZ... I agree totally well worth every penny^^^ Or just get the ground control rear coilovers. They're $11 cheaper than Top Motoring's. unless ground control has changed the length of their konis they are not long enough and you run out of droop in the shock (extention) and end up lifting the inside tire during hard cornering, Top Motoring or Troy Emish's kit are about the same and have plenty of droop and compression length (Troys for sure I have run them on all my 510s exept the wagon) cant say for sure on the top motoring kit but im guessing...:D Clayton Quote Link to comment
