69FJWagon Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hey guys just wondering if any of you have some close ups of the rear coilovers troy does. specifically the bottom mounting. cheers mounts just like the shocks just remove factory spring or aftermarket lowering spring and put in the coilover in the old shocks place. put a set in my 2 door last night only took about 35-45 minutes with a lot of BS'n going on Quote Link to comment
ryan510 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Thanks mate, they just looked a little short in width down the bottom where the bolt to the swing arm if you get me:blink:. Thats all though :) Quote Link to comment
ramseys21 Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 i have his coils on my 510 also. all i can say is bad ass!! the rears are very basic. just watch out for the brake lines. haha. one side is fine but the other will stretch the line quite a bit. the rear dropped right in. the front was fairly easy with help from the ratsun crew. thanks again guys. troy is the shit. i plan on getting most/all of my parts from him. haha. :blink: Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I've always admired Troy's work. I had his rear coil overs for my 4 door, but had to sell them to get my 2 door. How does he do his KA swaps? Does he do a new oil pump/pick up or swap the cross member and new sway bar? What ever he does he should sell the 'kit' to do it. Quote Link to comment

Troy does the crossmember and sway bar on the cars he builds but he doesnt have enough crossmembers to cut up and sell but he would gladly do it for you if you were to send/bring him your crossmember Quote Link to comment

jefe de jefes Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Anybody know how much a front and rear coilover kit costs for a 510? Quote Link to comment
69FJWagon Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Anybody know how much a front and rear coilover kit costs for a 510? depends on what you want for the front but the rears are $550 I think as far as the fronts you have a few different factors all of these can be answered by a simple phone call to Troy at his shop 510-252-1001 Clayton Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 that was fast , thanks. Thought I would ask here first since it's passed their business hours. Quote Link to comment
DeadFast Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Troy is a ruller!! I just got a 510 for the first time in 10 years and I have been going to troys since he and I had our first Itc race cars and that was even longer ago. Over the years his work quality has gotten so impressive!! I look forward to working on my new car and getting to tap into his infinite knowledge. FLIP Quote Link to comment

71DIMER Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Well I was just over there a few days ago since Troy was interested in buying my Watanabe's for his clean Bluebird...long story short...the fronts fit perfect but the rear fender would sit on the tire. So it was a no go...but still they sure look pretty on there dontcha think? Lots of cool 510's in various stages...I should have taken pics of all the dime's there. I think that's Clay's (FJ69Wagon) butt down there! Quote Link to comment
