Aftermarket suspension component options

[TME_Steve]

get Bilstein coilovers with full size springs and they won't even be noisy

 

[pretzil]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, where do you actually buy coilovers for these cars from? Or do you just wait for them to pop up in the for sale section...

 

[Dice]

Second hand: This forum, Ebay, Yahoo Japan
New: Ebay, easy to find BC Racing e.g. their own website, Garage7 etc.

Range has diminished with the age of these cars but it's not hard to find a new set for sale still.

 

[pretzil]

All I know is as soon as I ordered rear struts to replace my old leaking ones, 3 full sets of coilovers appeared for sale on this forum for less than the cost of the 2 struts... Since then, I've seen nothing on here lol.

Presume ISC are still doing their range also?

Not sure what the deal is with people saying coilovers quell bodyroll. It doesn't really, upgraded swaybars is what makes the difference. That is their dedicated job, not coilovers.

 

[TME_Steve]

But stiffer springs will reduce body roll as well. personally I prefer swaybars to do the primary work of that and keep the spring rate down but you can go the other way (which is usually the jdm approach)

I can vouch for coilovers stopping body roll.
My mates supra had THE stiffest coilovers on the planet, zero body roll, also terrible to drive on the road though, hitting and bumps on dips or anything would bounce you all over the place, even into different lanes sometimes. Sway bars are a way better way to do it

So what options are available in after market sway bars?

So what options are available in after market sway bars?

And where stocks them?

Ask Streeter for Cusco ones from Japan. They weren't too badly priced. I have a rear 24mm bar in mine.

I organised a group buy for these back in 2008 from Superior Suspension.

The only thing i'd add if you've got a Legnum, then massage the spare tyre support a little otherwise the rear will hit it. Not a big deal, it'll bend it out of the road eventually ( the support) Galants don't have them.
The bars were made for a galant , but i think they've since update the rear for Leggy.

Can you still get those bars brand new though?

 

[jungle]

Contact them and find out. If not call whiteline with the codes, they may have something even if the website says no

 

[BR1JZL]

Just wondering if anyone has installed the following (hopefully on a Galant) and if so what differences did they notice?

Also what other handling mods have people done (other than coilovers)?

Merged new thread with existing aftermarket suspension discussion.

Searching for threads with Cusco only in title, gives me several results.

Iirc it was the v2 arm bar that I had clearance issues with aftermarket downpipes / frontpipes
